Each regional network chair is appointed to a
two-year term by the regional vice president. Appointments are staggered so that all
regional chairs are not new each year. The regional network chair directs the
network activities for the region and reports to the regional vice president and the
national network chair. They will work closely with the regional network coordinator
who provides orientation training and serves as an ongoing resource to the chairs.
