Currently we are looking for a new Regional Director and should have someone in place within a month. You can message me with any questions you might have @Kent R

Head over to https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/forums/everything-else-southeast-region.221/ and post up in there. Lots of SouthEast members who will definitely know of something to do this weekend. Also, your Director @AdventureWithDanan can help point you to upcoming events.

Thanks @Kent R and @Michael and @Corrie. I am looking forward to working with you and on your behalf in the Midwest region.

If anyone is in the midwest region and is interested in working as a member representative or has ideas for the region, feel free to reach out. I am really looking forward to meeting more OLB members.

Cant wait to sport the rocky mtn region so many trails in this area. And to be able to collect souvenirs from around the nation oh yeah. Can’t wait for expo next year

 

[TNjohn]

I don't want to hurt any feelings but the Southeast patch is way cooler than the other ones.

 

[Morehouse Expedition]

You obviously haven’t met people from the rockys. Southeast does it even snow there

Hey now, we got snow last week. It was almost an inch of accumulation. Though I was out in the Denver area for the first snow of the season in early October. Always good to get back out to the Rockies. We even drove up to St. Mary's Glacier where I used to live.

The list in the first post is current. @Kent R updates it as Directors change. With that, I’m your regional director. How may I be of assistance?

[Uniquely Us Adventures]

Hey all!

There is a strong need for us to expand our region presence for those who would like to connect locally! Regional Directors will be the primary point of contact for the area. Directors meet with OLB HQ every other week, and are our primary point of contact for regional needs. They also have a very direct line of communication with us, and are kept current with Overland Bound operations. Regional Directors are managed by @Kent R who is our Executive Regional Director (all regions) and works to maintain region healthy, and establish new regions worldwide. Directors will assign Regional Member Representatives who will help them to support the community. In keeping with our core principles, it is very much a position of service to the Overland Bound community.

Regions are added as needs arise, and as interest grows in an area. A single Regional Director may start a region. Region hierarchy is as follows: Continent, Region. The region name gets all the press, not the continent. For example, the "West" region is actually "North America, West" and "West Europe" is actually "Europe, West Europe".

US regions are based on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior.

@Kent R is Overland Bound's Executive Regional Director, and works with all Region Directors and Reps to provide local support around the world. Its a huge task. Our currently defined regions all have members, and different levels of maturity and engagement. Active Regions have designated patches and logos, and we will produce new logos for regions with active participation. Regions and Directors are:

1. Executive Regional Director (all regions): @Kent R
2. US Northwest - Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho - @M Rose
3. US West - Nevada, California, Hawaii - @Narbob
4. US Rocky Mountain - Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Kansas - @Neal A. Tew
5. US Southwest - Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma - @brien
6. Mexico - Interim @brien
7. US Midwest - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa - @Mike W

Regarding local region OLB Facebook groups: To be an "Official" Overland Bound facebook group for the region, it must be a closed (private) group, and OLB HQ must be admins. I'm mentioning this because some existing OLB region groups would like to become, "Official".

The patches will be available soon, and can have your number added for those that want to represent their region, or show which regions they've been too!

As always, glad to have your questions!

Will there be a west region? Or just northwest? In the pic I see west?
