Regional Committees

Each region contains a link to further information. This includes details of which chapters belong to each Area. Section Chapter Chairs all serve on their Area Committee. Student Branch Chapter Chairs all serve on either an Area Committee, Area Student Activities Committee, or a sub-Area Student Activities Committee depending on the number of student chapters in the Area—this is detailed for each chapter in the document. Any updates or corrections should be communicated to the relevant Regional Coordinator.
