Introduction

AAIMHI has decided to create Regional Chapters outside France in order to help maintain contact amongst ourselves and exchange information worldwide. These geographical regions will be identified by IMHI and AAIMHI to cover the world wherever a concentration of alumni is present or starting to build.

Each Chapter will be piloted by a Regional Delegate (RD) appointed by the Board. Each RD can be assisted by one or more Regional Substitute(s), proposed by the RD and approved by the Board. RDs and RSs are appointed until they resign or are dismissed by the Board.
