The North American Association Of Synagogue Executives

Regional
Groups

A valuable and evolving professional resource lies in the far-reaching network of nineteen regional groups that span the United States and Canada. Executive Directors with common geographic bonds meet regularly with colleagues from different sized congregations, often including reform and orthodox Directors. A variety of scheduled monthly or quarterly midday meetings (generally luncheons) bring speakers on special topics to the groups, focused timely discussions, opportunities to enter into collective agreements of mutual congregational benefit, demonstrations of available technology and other administrative know-how. Each group operates autonomously and decides its own agenda and policies. But the feedback is always good . . . . meetings are well-attended and programs are diverse. We urge all NAASE members to inquire from the contact person listed below, about the closest regional group and the schedule of activities for the coming year.
