About Club Growth Director-Elected Christopher Little, DTM

The role of Club Growth Director for District 77 is both an honor and a responsibility I approach with great intention, especially during this pivotal season of transition and opportunity within our newly formed district. Having served as a Division Director and previously as an Area Director, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the club lifecycle—from building and sustaining membership to strengthening club quality and engagement. These experiences have equipped me with both the strategic insight and hands-on leadership necessary to support meaningful, sustainable growth across our district.

District 77 presents a unique opportunity to build something strong, unified, and impactful across Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. My focus will be on:

  • Strengthening existing clubs through targeted membership-building strategies
  • Launching new clubs in underserved and high-potential areas
  • Collaborating with district leaders to align growth efforts with program quality and member experience
  • Implementing data-driven approaches to track progress and drive results

I am deeply committed to serving with excellence, fostering collaboration, and ensuring that every club and member feels supported, seen, and positioned to thrive.
