Best Practices for ECEDHA Regional Groups
2
Best Practices

• The most active regional groups are the ones that
  regularly hold their own regional meeting at
  least once a year
• Fixed Location ( Southeast in Atlanta)
• Varying university locations (Central and
  Southwest)
• If your regions have no regional meeting think
  strongly about doing it

Best Practices

• Designated leaders is very important
• Leader is Chair at hosting university in some
  cases (Southwest and Central)
• Systematic election of officers works well for
  some (Southeast and Canada)
• Consider this for your regions

• Published agenda for regional meetings helps
  attendance

  regions
