The transition to the newly aligned District 70 is being coordinated by the Group Transition Chair, with key transition work delivered through the District Transition Committee (DTC), District Leadership Committee (DLC), and District Alignment Committee (DAC).

Each committee has a defined role to ensure the transition is structured, transparent, and focused on long-term District strength.

  • The Group Transition Chair ensures a smooth, supported and well-coordinated transition by:

    • Appointing key transition roles

    • Overseeing Transition Business Meetings

    • Providing guidance and oversight

    • Monitoring timelines and progress

    • Coordinating stakeholder communication

    The Group Transition Chair is a member of the Region 8–14 Transition Steering Committee.
