Regional Groups Map:
With an effort to facilitate communication and develop support in all communities around the state, we have been working hard at developing and expanding the already strong regional work that has been happening for years. In our first steps, Lisa, our president, has been in regular communication with our current regional leaders. As a result, we have developed the following map to outline our regions. Please note, we feel strongly that these regions do not limit your ability to work with and collaborate with other regions, but created these with the desire to strengthen local collaboration and support.
