  30. Why are Zones Paired Together? First to make the Rotary world more manageable (17 RI Directors – not – 34) The Directorship is alternated between Zones to improve representation

  31. Zone Geographic Sizes The United States has 12 zones (and six directors on the Board)…because it has so many Rotarians Zone 20 (on the other hand) covers 72 countries including all of Africa! Why? …the number of Rotarians.

  32. Paired Zones selects an International Director The Director sits on the Board of Rotary International for a two year term The Directorship alternates between Zones - This allows the position to be filled from within individual Zones over time.
