What are NARFE Regions?
The NARFE Members in the United States and its territories divided the United States up into ten areas (regions) with four or five states in a region. The Regions are grouped so that the member States are within driving distance from each other to make it a little more convenient for all involved. There are some areas that are not at all convenient.
Each Region has a Regional Vice President

What is a Chapter Microsite?
There are safeguards built into the NARFE Chapter Microsite to protect NARFE Members and the Chapter Microsite. We are asking each Chapter to get a Chapter Microsite. Which is different from the Federation Microsite, at the moment there is no cost so just ask The Federation President and NARFE CAB will build a Microsite for your chapter. You are asked to have someone take the chapter learning course to protect the chapter. The chapter Microsites are built so that the next webmaster can continue where you left off. It is that simple.
The Chapter Microsite is an extension of your chapter and a good public relation page. The size of the chapter is immaterial, your chapter could be two members or three hundred members.
It will take time to build Chapter Microsite for your Chapter, as NARFE is evolving. The idea of protecting each Chapter Microsite does take time. The learning curve is a new one. If you are familiar with Microsoft Word , Microsoft Excel and your smartphone you will be able to learn how NARFE Chapter Microsite works. It is a learning procedure, and it is a tight program. It is all voluntary.
All NARFE members should use their New Smart TV’s, Computers, Smartphones/Tablets. Goggle Blogger is a good teaching tool for people wanting to understand website creations. It is free. YouTube is a useful source of information about NARFE and these Microsites.
What is CAB
The NARFE Configuration Advisory Board (CAB).
CAB is made up of 10 members, one from each region, who represent chapters and federations. The CAB Representative is recommended by their Regional Vice President and appointed by the National President to act as the liaison between members, chapters, federations and HQ in addressing technology concerns.
