A main thrust for the board and officers in 2024 will be to increase member participation at meetings and other division events. One approach is the suggestion by the superintendent to create geographic subdivisions in order to plan meetings and events in all areas of the Susquehanna Division. He proposed four subdivisions with the counties of each seen in the map below:
- South Central centered on Harrisburg/Lancaster
- North Central centered on State College/Williamsport
- Southeast centered on Allentown
- Northeast centered on Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
