Since 2011 ISN GO leadership has initiated a new program to have one meeting in each region every two years that will be designated an ISN GO Regional Workshop. Workshops will be added to scheduled CMEs or regional meetings. These workshops will be a unique opportunity for leaders of ISN GO program in each region (Regional Committees, Fellowship, Sister Renal Center, CME et al) to plan a coordinated approach for the next two years in their area and serve several purposes :
- To provide Regional Committees, participants in ISN GO-supported programs and other interested local individuals an opportunity to meet directly with selected ISN leaders to strengthen the connections between ISN and the region.
- To provide a setting where everyone in a region who is working on any ISN GO program (Fellowships, Sister Renal Centers, CMEs, Research and Prevention projects, the Educational Ambassador program) can meet together to discuss, and provide feedback on the programs.
- To promote interaction and networking between different ISN programs that are being conducted within the same region.
- To provide ISN leadership with a better understanding of local and regional needs through direct person-toperson interactions with leaders in the regions.
