The role of the Regional Board
The Regional Board oversees all the teams within Great Britain and Ireland.
We are responsible for maintaining Beginning Experience® within our Region.
Part of our duties is to regularly assess the region's teams through the recommissioning process. This ensures teams are up to date, working from the current manuals and recommendations, and helping to improve the general running of the programmes throughout our region.
Members of the current regional board were nominated and voted in at an Annual General Meeting in July 2025 of the Regional Board with the BERB steering group. Each team within the region has representation on the Regional board, so all teams have advice and support when needed.
Every 2 years there is a Regional Board Conference, hosted by a different team each time. We offer support in planning and arranging the conference and provide training sessions and fun sessions throughout the conference.
We also coordinate the resources needed to run the different Beginning Experience® programmes, from manuals, leaflets and newly offered promotional materials and branded materials for use by the teams.
We as a board meet regularly, and are the first port of call for any challenges that a team within our region may have.
Our president sits on the International board and thus keeps up to date with the latest news and is our liaison between our region and the international board
