Could your branch benefit from a meeting with other branches in your state and/or the states surrounding you? Holding an in-person or online gathering of branches in your ‘region’ would be a great way to connect, share common concerns and recommendations to those concerns, as well as to hold discussions as a preliminary to future Triennial Congresses.
