any thoughts? I've got mine, but then again I'm sitting in a corner,
re-alignment
doesn't affect me very much in Maine... what do folks think of a Pacific
Northwest
Region? More fundamentally why are the Region boundaries the way they are=
AND
do the current Regions meet out growth needs? We talk of lofty goals for
expansion
but if anything we don't build the structure to support those goals... I =
say we
need to go to like 15 regions if we want to meet our challenge of growing=
to 450
chapters.
