Regional structures vary, depending on the needs and desires of each Region.
Regions generally hold one conference each year, focusing on continuing development topics.
Each Region has a homepage which may be accessed from the Society's homepage . Areas outside the United States and Puerto Rico are not officially in a Region and do not elect a Director to the Society's Board of Directors. Regional boundaries are as follows. Sections are not permitted outside the United States and Puerto Rico. Sections vary tremendously in number of members and geographic size, as well as activities and programs.
