To better address the needs of regional membership, the SGIM council founded the Board of Regional Leader Workgroup (BRL). This group is comprised of current regional presidents. It governs regional programs as well as engages with the SGIM Council to insure the society's strategic goals and functions are being addressed. Recently, the BRL has enhanced dialogue between the regions to help facilitate the exchange of information and best practices in their goal of promoting and implementing innovations and scholarship in the areas of education, clinical practice, and research.
