To help distributing resources, several outstanding RIGEA members have accepted the role of “Regional Captain.”  The role of the regional captains is to:

• Help the Alliance distribute news, maps, posters and other resources to local teachers.
• Work towards identifying district liaisons in aiding them in this process.

For example, we are currently preparing for Geography Awareness Week (Nov 11-17th).  Excellent posters from National Geographic are available; please contact a regional captain to get a copy.

Roster of Regional Captains:

1. Lyn Malone (East Bay)– lmalone@worldviewsgis.com
2. Chris Walsh (Newport)–walshcm@gmail.com
3. Helen Johnson (South County)–ride1034@yahoo.com
4. Cathy Pleau (North & East of Providence)–CPleau@Smithfield-Ps.Org
5. Artena Fairbairn (Warwick & Kent County)–amf161@yahoo.com
6. Seth Dixon (Providence & Cranston)–sdixon@ric.edu

So if you can help a regional captain by being a contact in the school district or building, let them know.
