Event Details

Kim Eastern Region Leaders,

We hope you are having a great beginning of summer! We know many of you are leaving for BBYO summer programs, camp or family vacations soon. As the world is starting to open up again, we are THRILLED to get back to in-person conventions next year. With that said, you are invited to Eastern Region’s Regional Execs Convention!
 

Although we will be back to holding in-person conventions in the fall, they will look a little bit different. We do not have all the details yet, as COVID protocols continue to change, but we will share all details in August once everything is finalized. One change that will be happening for Regional Execs this year is the number of teens that will be invited to attend in-person. This year, along with our Council Boards, chapter Presidents, S’ganim and Morim will be invited. All other chapter board members will have opportunities to get together in-person in their local communities and join virtually for special moments throughout the weekend. If one of those three positions is not able to attend in-person and you would like to send someone else in their place, please email Lauren Revenson at [email protected].
 

For chapters that do not have boards we have identified YOU as a growing leader in your community and want to invite you to attend Regional Execs in-person.
 

The news you have been waiting for: REGIONAL EXECS IS NOW OPEN! This is a crucial year for us to be together in-person and get back to what is most important: having fun, creating memories and being with our Eastern Region community. At Regional Execs you can look forward to Shabbat moments, learning how to strengthen your chapter, bonding with the leaders of Eastern Region and tons more!
 

We are excited to train the new leaders across Eastern Region and see what they will bring home to their communities. Throughout the weekend, we will act as one, connecting councils, championing our goals and changing the way our region works together to better ourselves and others for the future. See below for all the details and register today!
