About the Commission
The AMS Regional Action Commission (RAC) is a group of experienced, dedicated peers who encourage and facilitate relationships and volunteer opportunities for regional groups to promote participation of and growth of AMS membership and to work to fulfill the needs of AMS members by providing services and professional development to groups across the United States and other regions. The Commission’s work includes supporting AMS staff in the planning of regional professional development events and coordination of volunteers to help produce the events, possibly coordinating with regional groups to collaborate on their events; creation of guidelines and support for the formation and establishment of new regional groups.
We hope you will consider becoming involved with the Regional Action Commission and learning more about how you can support the Montessori Movement in your community.

Mission & Vision

Leading the Commission
Leading the Commission
I see the establishment of this regional commission to be a golden opportunity for AMS to help all members feel connected and to develop a sense of belonging, as well as to promote AMS membership for schools and individuals. AMS’s goal to formulate regional groups is evidence that AMS is advocating for all and strategically building a foundation with this new initiative to take all voices into account.

Why Get Involved
Getting to know your regional action commissioner will help you, your organization, and your school or TEP stay apprised of what AMS has to offer and enable you to connect with other Montessorians in your region for professional development and advocacy efforts. Through these localization efforts, we look forward to boosting member engagement, establishing leadership within each region, and expanding content to a national and eventually international level. We know this is a critical next step to strengthening the Montessori Movement.
