| The Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting (MARM) takes place each year in the area between Washington, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Les McQuire was Program Co-Chair for MARM 2005. Regional Boards are responsible for Regional activities however these are usually limited to the Regional Meeting which is organized by a planning team usually drawn from the host Local Section(s). A Regional Activities Coordination Team (ReACT) and an ad hoc working group prepared extensive guides and documentation to help transfer information between Regions and from one meeting to the next. |
