The IFTSA Area Redistribution Task Force has been hard at work to redistribute chapters among our geographical areas beginning the 2015-2016 academic year.  Our goals were to even out the number of chapters in each area as well as reduce, when possible, travel distances for chapters to attend area meetings.

Thank you to all who have participated in this process, your feedback has been essential in making the redistribution a success.  Based on your feedback and driving distances between chapters, we have developed the following proposal.  Chapters proposed to move to a new area typed in blue in the list below.  Please take the time to review, share with others, and provide your feedback on the new plan through the link below by September 15^th (survey should take no more than 1 minute to complete). The task force greatly appreciates all feedback, even if it is simply to state approval or disapproval of the plan.
