Past Governors District Updates
The success of the SWIS District today is in no small part a result of the responsible leadership of those that
contributed unselfishly before us. This page is dedicated to the success of our past leaders.

Paul Jacobsen, Bud Magnuson, Dwaine Sievers and Ken Sprain were Governors prior to the split. The old WISUM (Wisconsin/Upper Michigan) District was split into the SWIS (Southern Wisconsin) and WINUM (Wisconsin North/Upper Michigan) Districts starting in the 1993 - 1994 Optimist Year.
