Nominations are Open for Regional Director Positions! |
|
PFLAG National needs your help to find a passionate and enthusiastic volunteer to engage and help chapters as the next Regional Directors (RDs) for the following regions starting October 1: - South Atlantic region (NC, SC, KY, TN)
- Northern Plains region (MN, ND, SD, WI)
- Mountain West region (AZ, CO, NM, UT, WY)
- Southern region (AR, LA, OK, TX)
- Mid Pacific region (Northern California and Nevada)
In addition to these regions, many other Regional Directors will be up for reelection this fall. RDs serve 2 year terms and can serve 3 terms. Keep your eyes out for elections in these regions: - Pacific Northwest region (AK, ID, MT, OR, WA): Kevin Toovey will be up for reelection
- Gulf region (AL, FL, GA, MS, PR, USVI): Ann Miller will be up for reelection
- North Atlantic region (NY, NJ, PA): William Placek will be up for reelection
- Mid Atlantic region (DC, MD, VA, WV): Jumel Howard will be up for reelection
RDs are an important resource to chapters, and the need for a dedicated volunteer to serve in these regions has come at a critical time. The challenges and issues in each state in this region might differ. However, the focus is the same: Uniting our PFLAG voices for critical advocacy, connecting and supporting our chapters and their members, and keeping families together. If you love participating with PFLAG, meeting new people, learning more about our work on the state and national level, sharing ideas and experiences, and are interested in supporting PFLAG across the country, becoming an RD is a great way to do it. Please let me know by June 21 if you are interested in running for any of these positions. |
