In the past, directors were formerly known as State Directors. These officers served in the capacity we recognize currently in the term "area directors." Today, the District Director has a broader administration, wherein the area directors, for the Northeast, Northwest, Central Ohio-1, Central Ohio-2, and Southwest Ohio report. 

The district director is the signing authority where in chapter operational activities include oversight over membership, as well as fiscal and other administrative reporting to the elected Midwestern Regional Vice-President and his Assistant Vice-President. The district director processes activities of both the alumni and college chapters in the State of Ohio.  The assistant district director serves as an liaison for the college chapters; college chapters  are expected to use him as a resource. 

District directors are elected by delegated representatives from the various local chapters.  All district officers serve at the pleasure of the district director by appointment.
