What is the EWB-USA Northeast Region (NER)?
· The Northeast Region is 1/7 Regions recently formed throughout the EWB-USA member base. We are comprised of 10 States, from ME to DE, 53 EWB Chapters, and approximately 25% of the EWB-USA Chapters. Who is in the EWB Northeast Region? · The NER includes all chapters, projects, and members within our member states. The NER Committee is a group of elected and appointed members who act as a line of communication for chapters/projects and national for the benefit of our membership. Why was the EWB Northeast Region developed? · To provide more personal contact between EWB-USA and members, provide opportunities for collaboration, to develop proactive resources and additional ways for volunteers to engage in the EWB experiences, and gage the EWB climate. We are organized in a way that allows us to best serve the needs of our volunteers, while acting as a voice for the membership within the national organization. · EWB-USA, through our CRM Rosemary Powers, formed the Northeast Region in 2008.
