Gotta love it!
Okay - I know y'all have most likely seen the upgrades to the Central region threads... no... no typo - Central Region, not Central Chapter. Ah haaa - that's the difference, eh? That's right - what we have known as the Central Chapter has actually been simply a Central Region - no chapter associated with it.
Here's the deal - the TRD threads have been developed into regions, and, there have been TDR chapters developed within those regions. For example, Jeremy was the TDR Rocky Mountain Chapter, which did not mean he was the central chapter president. I discovered this a short time ago, and in that time after talking with Robin Patton (HUGE thanks to her for helping me understand how this all works) and to Steve St. Laurent (again, HUGE props) we have developed and incorporated the threads into what you see as of today.
How it works:
The central region is officially now detailed into our three smaller regions. You will not be able to post NEW threads under the central region. Threads currently under the central region will remain and can be edited as usual and will attrition out as time goes by. New threads can now be posted under the new regions, broken out as we had discussed earlier.
As it is, I will be taking over from Jeremy as the Rocky Mountain TDR president. I will not be president of either the Mountain, Northern Tier, or Heartland regions - those are not chapters and there are no managerial roles within those regions. However, if someone wants to incorporate a new chapter for your local town, you can absolutely do that and set it how you like. Steve has incorporated links to find out more about starting a local chapter in your town.
Chapters are developed for very local groups, like our RMTDR chapter, and is designed to work within a city (in our case, the Rocky Mountain Front Range) and work with local TDR members, not regional TDR members.
So, posts can now be tailored to your region, and chapters can be incorporated as you see fit. I really like the new design and think it will work very well for us all.
Any questions please ask away. Otherwise, thank you all for your support and input. See you on the road!
