An area has 4-6 clubs. And each year the Area has a Director. So every few years, a club can offer up a member to be the Area Director. It’s not a requirement, but a good way for the club to contribute and members to see opportunities beyond the club. Always be keeping an eye on members who have been around a few years, and shown interest and/or potential in leadership outside the club. Of course, there are District Leadership roles beyond Area Director as well.
