Our Regional Directors

Director Welcome Message

Welcome to Destination Imagination, Region ONE (Outrageous New Experiences). Our board is 100% volunteers made up primarily of people whose kids participated in the program long ago. Our kids got so much out of the program, we have made a committment to maintain this program for families in Northern California.

Our main jobs are to recruit teams, train Team Managers and Appraisers, run workshops, and organize our Regional Tournament in Roseville on March 1, 2025.

Our goal is to grow the program in the Sacramento Region. If you don’t have an established DI program at your school, please reach out to us to plan an Information Night to help you get the program started!

Thanks for supporting Destination Imagination

Alan Mayer, Claudia Wilson, and the rest of the DI Board!
