Regional Conferences (RCs)

Regional Conferences or RCs are the level of organization above Local Gatherings (LGs) within the Free Spirit Connection. Each Conference represents ten to twenty Gatherings in a given geographic area. Each LG sends their elected Council members, plus a Celebrant or Attendant, as their delegation to semi-annual meetings, and each RC meeting is headed by two co-moderators elected at the end of the previous meeting. RC members share information and consider various proposals. An RC does not "rule over" its constituent LGs, but rather serves as a forum by which LG leaders exchange ideas and attempt to discern consensus. When approaching its maximum of twenty LGs, a Regional Conference makes plans to either split into two RCs or reapportion with neighboring RCs.
