Regions Forum: AAR Regions in a Time of Transition

This forum provides a space for open discussion for the leaders of the AAR's ten regions and other members active in or interested in the work of the regions. In 2022-23 the Regions Committee and AAR staff have been working to centralize many regional operations like banking and websites and to draw up new operating agreements that will standardize practice across the regions. Additionally, this year we consider recent important changes to the regional meeting landscape, including the return to in-person meeting formats for our regional meetings and the SBL's abolition of its regional meetings. What regional meeting practices serve our members best? How is the relationship between the AAR's central office and its regions best configured for pursuing our respective missions? Regionally Elected Coordinators (RECs) of the regions will be on hand to share information and discuss the many changes that are under way.
