The East Central Region (ECR) includes the five midwestern states that touch our Great Lakes. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Within these five states are 13 General Service Areas. Each Area elects a Delegate to represent them at the annual General Service Conference and conducts Area business. The region meets periodically throughout the year at the East Central Regional Conference, the East Central Regional Forum, and the East Central Region Conference of Delegates Past & Present.
