REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES

IAPA's Regional Representatives report directly to the IAPA Board of Directors. Indiana's regions are defined by county and consist of a Regional Representative appointed biannually for a 2-year term by the Board of Directors. Regional Representatives serve as a local liaison to the IAPA Board of Directors, as well as attend and help coordinate legislative and advocacy functions in the region, educational dinners, regional networking events, and discuss regional issues of importance. Regional Representatives are the initial point of contact for questions and concerns regarding practice issues, regional concerns or any other form of local advocacy affecting your local communities.
