    Regional Affiliates

    There are four Regional Affiliates of the Council of Graduate Schools: the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools; the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools; the Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools; and the Western Association of Graduate Schools. The primary purpose of these organizations is to allow members to identify and address common challenges related to graduate study and research. Each Regional Affiliate may select one liaison to the CGS Board of Directors as a non-voting member. CGS staff attend meetings of the Regional Affiliates and may communicate directly with officers of the four organizations.
