In accordance with Article 11.010.3 of Rotary International’s Bylaws, Periodic Review of Zone Boundaries, requiring the Board to review the composition of the zones at least every eight years, at its January meeting the Board of Directors adopted new zone boundaries for the 34 Rotary zones. These will be posted on Rotary.org. Sectioning, zone pairings, and director election rotations will be considered at the Board’s April 2026 meeting.
