Notes
1. In BNA PortraitS, Vol. 3, No. 3, Apr.-June 1996, it was announced that the Vice President Regional Groups would be responsible for membership, publicity, and promotional activities in addition to Regional Groups. To reflect the expanded mandate, the position was renamed Vice President Member Services. It was expected that the Vice President would delegate the duties associated with the added responsibilities. In fact, BNAPS has had a Publicity Officer since 1993.
2. At BNAPEX 2001 in Ottawa in September, when Tracy Cooper assumed the position, the name reverted back to Vice President Regional Groups.
Before the creation of the Vice President Regional Groups in 1993, the duties of this position were carried out by a Regional Group Coordinator. The Regional Group Coordinator was also the Second Vice President.

Between 1985 and 2001, there was a Regional Group Reporter, an appointed position. The Reporter wrote a column in BNA Topics, "Regional Group Ramblings", that described the activities of the Regional Groups based on reports received from them. The column moved to BNA PortraitS when it began publication in 1993.
When Tracy Cooper became VP Regional Groups in September 2001, he wrote the column himself, renaming it "Regional Groups - The Heart of BNAPS". The focus of the column changed. Instead of reporting on specific Regional Group meetings, it dealt with Regional Groups as a whole. Specific Regional Group activities were still published, but under the byline of a reporter for that Regional Group.
Under Robert K. Lane, Regional Group reports continued to be published in BNA PortraitS. In addition, they were published on the BNAPS website on pages dedicated to each Regional Group.
Jack Forbes was the VP Regional Groups when BNA PortraitS ceased publication at the end of 2009. He instituted the column "Regional Group Rant" in BNA Topics in 2010 to report on Regional Group activities. In addition, the website continued to carry meeting reports.
