Editing Greater Jersey Hudson River Region

'''The Greater Jersey Hudson River Region''' (commonly referred to as the GJHRR or the Gijahurr) is the order's third largest region with almost 400 engaged Alephs and over 500 engaged BBGs. The region generally has four (previously five) regional conventions a year, including RLTI (August), MIT (October), RJI (February/March), and LIFE (May). The region also holds one council convention a year for both Northern and Central Council called Spirit that takes place in December. The region previously held Spring Convention every other year in April, however, as of now there are no plans to continue Spring Convention.

The region employs two staff members, Judith Youngman, the region's longtime director, and Richard Gordon, the Central Council program director.
