the official start of international expansion started is up for debate. it was widely believed that with the chartering of the juarez club on february 16, 1944, so started the movement of 20-30 in mexico and latin america. however, new evidence points to the first real international presence beginning in 1933 when the el paso, texas, club was chartered and possibly the juarez, mexico club as well. it was a result of the juarez charter and that of other mexican clubs that the name of the association was changed to 20-30 international at the 1946 victory convention.
