Regional Directors

Flexitoon Puppets

To serve the regional and local needs of the membership of Puppeteers of America, the Board of Trustees divided the country into geographical sections known as regions. Regional Directors encourage cooperation and communications of all PofA members and all guilds in the region and encourage the development of regional festivals. Regional Directors are elected by members in the region or appointed by the board.
