- Moving forward, State and Regional Coordinators will also begin seeing "At Large" groups for each of their state(s) - a new catch-all group that will receive incoming new volunteers in that state that were not automatically assigned a chapter when they joined due to living far enough away from any active chapter or some other reason.
