CSF & CJSF Regions
The rapid growth of the organization led to a plan to divide the state into regions for the student conferences. At a general business meeting in October 1928 in Los Angeles, the plan was approved. In December, this plan was accepted by the Student Branch Convention held in Los Angeles. As a result, the Student Branch semiannual all-state conventions were replaced by regional conferences and the use of a statewide “Student Branch” was discontinued.
Three regions of Northern, Central, and South functioned until 1957, at which time the South Region was divided into the South and South Central Regions. In 1966, the Central Region was divided into the Central and Central Coast Regions. At present, the regional
conferences are usually hosted by individual high school chapters sometimes in collaboration with local CJSF chapters, and the use of regional student officers has been discontinued. See CONFERENCES.
To establish more intimate contacts between chapters, affiliated schools were often grouped into districts, each containing six or more chapters. These groups held business and social meetings or outings. District XII in San Francisco was the last of these to continue this practice, until the creation of a new District I, in the southern region, in 1990. District I is no longer active.
