Regional Committees.

They serve as catalysts and enablers:
a) Helping to more fully engage and involve CCI member organisations, and sustaining their drive and passion.
b) With the CCI global office, coordinating multi-region / cross-counrty CCI projects and campaigns.
c) Facilitating members to work more closely with other members, within their region and with other regions.
d) Supporting them to expand and deepen regional and international alliances and partnerships.
e) Planning and running regional conferences, meetings and training.
