Regions & Regional Representatives

The Consortium divides the many places we serve in the U.S. and Canada into regions, creating specific subgroups to encourage connection between members based on more localized concerns and efforts. Regional Representatives facilitate connections in various ways including meetups, virtual meetings, and region-specific initiatives, depending on the needs and interest levels of members in the region. Members can reach out to their respective Regional Representatives using the contact information below.

Becoming a Regional Representative

Any Consortium member is eligible to run for an open Regional Representative position in their region during the yearly elections. The open period to submit candidate nominations and information is shared via this page and in emails to members.
