Welcome to the first edition of the Director’s Current, a space in Froggie Friday where I’ll be sharing regional updates, reflections, and anything else floating through the PACURH waters.

I understand it’s summer so most people are relaxing while some are already hard at work preparing for the year ahead, but we do have a regional chat coming up on July 13, next Sunday, at 2pm HST / 5pm PDT. The agenda will be released during my office hours on Tuesday July 8th and later sent out in the next Froggie Friday. In the future I hope to release agendas sooner but we are still working on this one!

I’ve also opened up office hours. Drop-ins are Tuesdays from 6–9pm PDT, but you can also schedule one-on-ones any time that works for you. Office hours recaps will be sent out weekly in the Directors Current. If no time from my calendar works for you, please feel free to reach out and we can schedule something! 

Last but certainly not least, the RBD is hard at work planning for the year ahead! From conference prep and goal-setting to improving transparency and accountability in everything we do. Speaking of which, I’m extremely glad to introduce something new, the 2025-26 Feedback Form! If you have any feedback or questions about the region, conference, or anything, the form will be released soon.

As always, if you have questions, ideas, or just want to chat, my inbox is open at pa_director@nacurh.org or dysis_a on Discord.

- Isha K, PACURH Regional Director
