Region Coordinator

The WLMA Vice President coordinates all WLMA regions, and is the region chairs' best contact for questions, ideas and collaboration. For additional information about regions, see the Region Information page.

1. Before the Full Board Meeting at annual conference, attend the Region Officers' Leadership Conference with your team of officers for the coming year. Plan three meetings during the school year. Post meetings to the WLMA home page to keep your region informed, by sending email to wlma@earthlink.net. Links to region-maintained webpages can be linked from the WLMA website.

2. Incentive Grants of up to $200 are available to support special programs or events sponsored by the region. Consider this during your meeting planning sessions. (guidelines, form, evaluation)

3. Check section IX of the Policies and Procedures(pdf) manual for a list of expectations of your region's officers. The WLMA Vice-President is available for assistance to the regions and support for the region officers. Use his/her talents to make your region the best!

4. Before each meeting, check the WLMA calendar to keep region members apprised of upcoming events. Check the WLMA Web News page several times a month for news and information of value to members.

5. In April or May, conduct elections of region officers (chair, chair-elect, secretary and treasurer), and coordinate transition to new officers for the next school year.

6. During the summer, nominate any potential emeritus members who are recent retirees extensively involved in WLMA - see qualifications. Nominations are due September 1.

7. Mailing Labels can be printed for your entire region or for members who have not renewed. Most requests can be in the mail the next day. Just call or email the current membership chair for database and labels.
