Introducing the Region and SIG Co-Chair Hub Pages!

We appreciate all the work our co-chairs do and know it can be hard to keep track of all the moving parts of being a chair. Our goal is to continue building out this page in order to create a one stop shop for Region and SIG chairs. If there is something you would like to recommend for this page please email info@academicpeds.org

This main page will contain information and documents relevant to all chairs. The Region Chair Hub and the SIG chair Hub will contain information specific to those positions.
