The Council of Regional Presidents (CORP) held its semi annual meeting in Reno, NV, at NDTA's 62nd Annual Forum and Expo on 20 September 2008. The CORP consists of nine separate geographical regions in the US, Europe, and the Pacific. Each volunteer Regional President is approved by the NDTA President, appointed by the NDTA Chairman of the Board, and elected by the general membership. They serve as liaison between the Chapters and NDTA headquarters, assist current Chapters in their areas, foster the development of new Chapters, and promote the ideals of NDTA. 1. Our recent meeting's agenda included a "State of NDTA" overview by LTG Wykle; NDTA's primary role, Education; The viability of Regional Forums; How to encourage young members, those 35 and younger, to become more actively involved in leadership roles within the Association; and finally Membership Growth and Retention. Each subject encouraged a lively discussion, but the final topic on membership consumed most of the meeting. The consensus was that principal leadership, both military and civilian, at all levels should be encouraged to support the aims and objectives of NDTA and to allow active participation of their people in their local Chapters and Educational and Professional Development activities.
