Regions / Chapters, and
also councils, are grouped
into regions. They vary in
size from one large city to
several states, provinces or
entire countries. Regions
serve to bring chapters
together so that they can exchange ideas, socialize,
compete and work together on larger projects. Regions
also exist to serve the chapters and to help them in any
way possible, providing resources and having widescale programs. Councils and regions represent all
communities at the International level.
Note: Certain regions that are composed of councils elect
council boards as opposed to a single regional board. This
scenario, known as council predominance, may occur for
a variety of reasons such as large geographic distance
between councils, very large regional membership or
if the councils vary in strength to the point where each
council is better served by independent leadership.
