Greater Jersey Hudson River Region
From Wikibbyo
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. GJHRR is a region split into two councils each with an AZA and BBG board. There is no regional board, but the four council presidents act as the RCC or Regional Coordinating Committee.
The region employs two staff members, Judith Youngman, the region's longtime executive regional director and Amanda Minkoff, program director.
