IASD Regional Representatives

Regional Representatives of the IASD serve as ambassadors of the organization and help to further IASD’s aims with members. We are now encouraging Representatives to help build their local regions with small gatherings for members, and possibly organize dream events, large or small, for their communities.

Regional Representative Duties

In becoming a Regional Representative, you agree to do the following:

• Maintain an active membership in IASD
• Follow the IASD mission, code of ethics and confidentiality, and Principles of Community in any practices or events you organize under the aegis of IASD.
• Protect the confidential membership information that is sent to you, by not using it for your own personal or professional programs, publishing, or work; and by not giving it out to other organizations.
• Serve as the contact person for your designated geographic region.
• Greet members in your region with a personal contact as they join or renew their annual memberships.
• Attend two Zoom meetings per year, in April and October, to learn about the IASD as an organization, meet other Regional Reps, and consider ways to support your regional members.
• Provide simple organizing in your region to help members meet each other and learn more about the IASD.
• Regional Reps who attend the annual conference are invited to a lunch while there, to meet other reps and share IASD organizing experience.

Regional Reps are also invited to consider organizing local events for the public. If you are interested in what that might entail, please see our Regional Event Guidelines page for more information.
