Council for Health and Human Service Ministries

Regional Representatives

CHHSM's geographic regions encourage communication and support among our member ministries.

Each region is represented on CHHSM's Board of Directors by a regional representative who stays in touch with each corporate member in the region and represents the region's ideas and concerns to CHHSM's leadership.

Our current regional representatives, serving from 2005-2008, are:
