Welcome to Region VII! Region VII comprises seven southeastern U.S. states along with our friends and colleagues in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Region VII's Community Connections keeps the conversation going all year long. Our monthly online series features voices from our IE community on rotating topics. Each month is different, free and virtual. All are welcome!
Join your Region VII colleagues on Friday, December 5 at 11:30 CST / 12:30 EST for a Holiday Hangout! We’ll share favorite recipes and traditions, play a little holiday trivia, and even have a virtual background contest. It’s a light, friendly way to close out the year together with good energy and good company.
Entering the Virtual Background Contest is simple: design a background of your choice and use it when you attend the Holiday Hangout. Get creative and share some joy!
Optional Dress Code: Show your holiday spirit with festive headgear or ugly sweaters. Drink some coffee or cocoa from a cheerful (or “cheer”-filled) mug. Save a special cookie to make other attendees drool just a little.
