Throughout the summer and into the beginning of the school year, Mountain Region has climbed to new heights. During the summer, many participants from Mountain had the time of their lives at a variety of different BBYO Summer Experiences. Below is a look at our 12 ILTC participants who grew as leaders and made amazing new friends at this awesome summer program!!

¡Muchos de los miembros de Mountain también tuvieron la oportunidad de participar en programas internacionales a través del CLTC este verano! ¡Estamos muy orgullosos de contar con una representación tan numerosa de nuestros miembros en los programas de verano! ¡Todos los participantes han podido aplicar lo aprendido tanto en su sección local como en nuestra región!

Comienza el curso escolar...

¡ Nuestra N’siah regional, Katie Kort, y nuestro Godol regional, Noah Kaplan, asistieron a la reunión ejecutiva internacional de agosto! ¡ Ambos trajeron consigo un montón de recursos valiosos, nuevas ideas y mucho más a la Región Mountain! ¡Estos recursos resultaron muy útiles para la reunión ejecutiva regional de septiembre de Mountain !

At Mountain’s Regional Execs, three representatives from every chapter were invited to a weekend full of leadership training and fun! N’siot and Godolim were able to learn how to effectively support their chapters, S’ganim learned how to elevate their programming, and Morim began to develop MIT/AIT curriculums. During the weekend, we also passed new and exciting pieces of legislature. One piece of legislation that passed turned our Fall Convention into a Fall Kallah for the following years to come! One of the most epic moments was when we inducted West Valley BBYO into the region! What a truly successful weekend!

Soon came the month of October which brought our first regional convention of the year, Fall Convention! This event was coordinated by our regional N'siah and Godol, and was one of our biggest conventions in years!! The weekend was full of exciting programming, new friendships, BBYO spirit, and paninis. It was the best way for us to kick off this year.

Mountain Region has also excelled in attendance, membership, and much much more! Not only did we beat our Fall Convention attendance goal by 15 people, but we also surpassed our International Convention registration goal!! This appears to be the year for smashing expectations. And we’re going big on membership too. Not only are we expanding existing chapters, but we have also started a new chapter in Glendale called West Valley BBYO. One founder of the chapter, Madelon Maschmeier, has done a truly excelled in growing this chapter. With high attendance at programming and event attendance at the regional convention, West Valley BBYO is off to an amazing start!
