Each region of USY has an elected executive board, which is much similar to a board in any given chapter. However, in an effort to involve more people in the "bigger picture," regions also have general board members, who are appointed to do certain duties under the supervision of an executive officer. For example, one general board position is Chadashot M'Yisrael, or Israeli News. The person assigned to this position works with his overseeing officer, which in this case would be the Programming / Israel Affairs Vice President. There are dozens of other positions available in different categories as well. For a complete list of the general board positions, please visit the NERUSY web site.
