Dear NACADA Region Chairs:

Under your direction and leadership are over 10,000 members of NACADA. It is your task to include members in the fold of NACADA activities through state, regional, and national conference attendance, commission involvement, various committees, and NACADA honors and awards.

With these opportunities also come the responsibilities of submitting and maintaining a regional budget, selecting and overseeing a Regional Conference chair and committee, overseeing the region steering committee, overseeing the preparation and approval of the Regional Conference budget, promoting NACADA membership, and a host of other activities.

The material in this manual has been put together in an effort to better acquaint you with the functions and duties of your office. Used in conjunction with NACADA LeadershipHandbook and the Regional Conference Chair Handbook, it should answer many of your questions concerning the Association.  In addition, you have a great number of resources within the leadership of NACADA - Board Members, Council Members, Executive Office Staff and former Region Chairs, all of whom are more than happy to assist you in this adventure! 

This Region Chair Handbook document is located on the NACADA web page under the headings: About NACADA, Leadership Information. Updates will be made on the web only.
