2. Changes
Supreme is replacing the “Surge with Service” program model with a new “Faith In Action” program model
This will take effect for the Fraternal Year. The new model is expected to be fully implemented by July 1
The new programs will be Faith, Family, Community and Life
Councils will no longer need to appoint a Youth or Council Director
The good news is this will reduce the number of programs required to earn the Columbian award. There will be 4 programs in 4 categories, totaling 16 programs, instead of the old 24 programs across 6 categories

7. This year: As we transition to the new model
On the State Level, State Deputy Dale Trott has decided to keep the Council and Youth Activities Directors in place this year to alleviate confusion during the change.
Council Activities will continue to cover the Columbus Day Ball and Parade, Incentive Raffle and Knights of Columbus License Plates.
Most of the Youth Activities, as we know them, have been relocated to Family and Community Activities.
While the Maryland State Council still recognizes Council and Youth Activities Directors, reports to State or Supreme will not be submitted under those categories.
