Directory of Regional Representatives and Country Contacts
These Representatives welcome those who want information about IONS, the Community Group Network, the Member Council, or how to start a group. Let us hear from you!
More specifically, Regional Representatives support the Community Group Network by providing two-way communications, equally serving IONS Hubquarters, Member Council and Community Group Coordinators. They can help:
- new and existing groups obtain information or materials from IONS
- convey news, information, and opportunities to the Coordinators from Staff and the Member Council, as well as from the field to them
- CG Coordinators with ideas for successful group experiences
- keep the Community Group Directory contact information up to date
- bonding of CGCs into a vibrant region with new paths of communication
The International Representatives are the global contact people for those who want to know more about IONS and the Community Group Network.
