IFLRY Region System
In addition to its regional member organizations, IFLRY maintains a region system in which every country is assigned to at least one geographic or political region. Each region is supported by a Bureau Buddy and has an associated regional group chat, where member organizations and Bureau representatives can exchange updates, coordinate outreach, and stay informed about relevant IFLRY initiatives. This system fosters stronger communication and helps maintain close contact between the Bureau and IFLRY members around the world.
Some countries belong to more than one region to reflect overlapping cultural, geographic, or political ties.
