These Communities are designed to create and promote connection to the Association and other members based on geographic location or institution commonalities (i.e. SEC Directors, New England Directors, Big 10 Directors). Their focus allows for mentorship, networking, programming, development opportunities, support, and conversation around geographic issues (ex.: legal requirements, culture, etc.).
