Regionally based leadership

Our members trust us to represent their values and views鈥攂ecause we stay connected through strong regional networks. Each of our eleven regions is led by a Regional Executive, made up of elected members who understand the unique needs of their communities.


Member boards not only have the opportunity to vote for their Regional Executive鈥攖hey can also stand for election themselves. It鈥檚 a chance to lead locally, shape national advocacy, and ensure your region鈥檚 voice is heard.


Regional Executives are vital to 茄子视频鈥檚 mission. They strengthen our collective impact by gathering insights, building relationships, and driving change. If you're passionate about supporting your region, we encourage you to stand for your Regional Executive and help shape the future.
