Pacific Western District History
In 2007 APICS approved to change the 14 Regions to 9 Districts. Region 10 was renamed the Pacific Western District and did not change in geography. The Region 10 Vice President position was replaced by two positions; the District Manager who oversees the Chapters within the District and the District Director who represents the District Chapters as a voting member on the APICS Board of Directors. Each position is a two year term. The District Director can only hold the position for one consecutive term. The District Manager can be elected for two consecutive terms for a maximum of four consecutive years.
