The role of the Regional Student Representatives is to facilitate communication within and between IPPNW regions and facilitate student activities and recruitment within their region. The Regional Student Representatives ensure that IPPNW’s geographically diverse student membership is involved in the affairs of IPPNW and that their activities are in accord with IPPNW’s mission.

Communication

Regional Representatives shall identify National Student Representatives within their region and ensure proper adherence to procedures for National Student Chapters.  RSRs are asked to maintain regular communication with: their National Student Representatives; Regional Vice-Presidents and affiliates; as well as IMSRs. Information contained in official reports should be shared with affiliates and student groups, unless otherwise specified.

Reporting and Assignments

Regional Representatives shall submit a formal report twice per year to the IMSRs on the status of IPPNW activities and membership in his/her region.  In addition to formal reporting requirements, RSRs will be called upon to produce and share information on a regular, informal basis and to prepare information at the request of IMSRs and other student colleagues.

Regional Representatives may, from time to time, be called upon by the Board and the IMSR’s to perform other ad hoc assignments for IPPNW in order to fulfill policy or program objectives within a region.

The Regional Representatives will be required to write a report for their successor at the close of their term.

Regional Meetings

Regional Representatives shall facilitate the coordination of IPPNW regional student meetings.  RSRs are encouraged to participate as actively as possible (finances permitting) in national or regional meetings/symposia, and are responsible for ensuring that statements generated from regional meetings in the name of IPPNW are congruent with IPPNW policy.
