Were any SoCal folks involved? Because, I'm going to say this once, there is significant opposition in high places down here. You're preaching to the choir for a fair number of SoCal teams, but the higher-ups do. not. like. the idea of districts.


Not a criticism, just a question and a statement of fact.

Eric,

Thanks for the feedback. I understand there will be people in favor/opposed to the district model.

I hope this proposal will educated people on the district model. I have heard certain Key Volunteers in CA say things like "Districts will cost 3 million dollars the first two years" and California needs "35 Districts". And I have heard a California RD back those numbers up!

The purpose with a plan is to fact check the guesstimates and make an educated proposal for Districts.

If you don't mind, please share this with the SoCal teams you know! Education is a great start.

Edit: To answer your question, I've had some help from a few SoCal folks, including the great folks at Code Orange!
