The FLC Board of Directors establishes the various Districts for which one or more board seats are apportioned. FLC Districts do not align perfectly with the boundaries established independently by the Local/Regional Leagues across the state to reflect their local and regional league membership.
FLC provides the Local/Regional League map on its website for the convenience of interested persons and makes its best effort to accurately reflect the Local/Regional Leagues across the state. However, FLC cannot guarantee the accuracy of any Local/Regional League maps published on its site, since Local/Regional Leagues operate independently of FLC and periodic changes to their respective governing documents and/or geographic boundaries may arise at any time.
