It was, however, very tought getting the changes approved by the students. Too many looked at the sectional boundaries as walls, thinking they would somehow be 'cut off' from the other chapters. We had to spent quite a bit of time explaining that the new sections mean better support from a SC & staff that is closer, and the proposed sections were based on what would make it easier for a SC & staff to support chapters. We also got the chapters to agree to do a single florida conference for the next 3 years. I hope they extend this.

This effort was part of a larger effort to redraw sectional boundaries in Region IV.
