Optimist International’s primary focus for growth and Club establishment will be global, encompassing developed and developing nations. A Club that is organized will be required to pay a Charter fee, an affiliation fee, annual dues or other fees as established by the Board of Directors, or another amount as set by the Board of Directors under a pilot program. Optimist International will electronically provide materials to these Clubs in primarily English or French and other languages as available. The sponsoring District and Club will be awarded credit for new club building upon submission of the new Club's charter.
