Meet Your Regional Representatives!
Meet the LifeRing Regional Representatives!
Our Regional Representatives are your support team! The specific responsibilities of a LifeRing Regional Representative may vary, but their main role is to serve as a point of contact and support for individuals and groups within their designated region. They act as a liaison between the organization and the local LifeRing groups, providing information, resources, and assistance as needed.
Regional Representatives are responsible for maintaining communication with the local LifeRing groups in their region, and address any inquiries or requests from the groups. They also stay in contact with convenors, co-convenors and other individuals in meeting support roles.
