Dave, I would think that this would answer some of your questions.
What are Apple Regional Liaisons?
Apple Regional Liaisons are leaders selected by Apple and its User Group
Advisory Board to network with and represent user groups in their specific
areas. They work with the Apple User Group Advisory Board and Apple on
efforts important to the user group community.
Who are the current regional liaisons?
Please see our regional liaison profiles
<http://www.apple.com/usergroups/contact/liaisons/> for information about
these leaders.
What¹s the point of having regional liaisons?
Regional liaisons are there to establish and maintain relationships with the
groups in their areas. They are specifically looking for success stories to
share with the rest of the user group community and for concerns to take
back to Apple. Regional liaisons also contribute time and talent on key
initiatives that benefit user groups everywhere.
What do liaisons do for user groups?
Liaisons collect feedback from the user group community and share best
practices among leaders. Collected feedback goes to the User Group Advisory
Board and to Apple. Apple listens to this feedback and considers the ongoing
advice it receives from board members and regional liaisons on issues
related to the user group program.
How are regional liaisons chosen?
The User Group Advisory Board members are chosen by Apple. We look for a
diverse group of strong leaders with positive attitudes, high energy, and a
passion for the user group community.
How long do they serve?
There are no term limits for regional liaisons. They will continue to serve
as long as it is beneficial for them, Apple, and the user group community.
What kind of time commitment is required?
Lots. Advisory board members spend a great deal of passion, effort, and time
on behalf of the user group community. It is a big investment, yet an
enriching experience at the same time.
What perks do liaisons get?
Not many. A nice dinner out, an occasional thank-you gift, a little
recognition that¹s about it. Regional liaisons pay their own way to
tradeshows and the many other events to which they travel. This is a
volunteer position.
So, why would anyone want to be a regional liaison?
Because they care and because they are committed to creating win-win
relationships among user groups, Apple, and its customers.
