Zone 10 is one of 14 Zones that make up the Porsche Club of America. Before 1969, the club had grown to approximately 70 regions, relying on Porsche Club of America National for help. At that time, the Porsche Club of America’s headquarters staff consisted of two people working from the basement of a house in Alexandria, Virginia. On January 1, 1969, the country was split into 8 Zones with a Zone Coordinator. As the club grew, the country’s mid-section was divided, and Zone 9 and Zone 10 were formed in 1974. Zone 12 was formed from Zone 3 in 1985; in 2001, Zone 13 was formed from Zone 4. In 2017 Zone 14 was created.

We are Zone 10, encompassing ten local regions and a large geographical area in the center of North America with more than 5,000 members. Our boundaries extend from Missouri, Kansas, Dakota and Southern Illinois to Manitoba, Canada.
