The Regional Association Council (RAC) is a national organization that governs nonprofit associations conducting business in industries related to promotional products. RAC affiliates receive marketing services, a list of prequalified representatives and speakers for its individual organizational affairs and a national network of industry-related associations. RAC encourages cooperation and continuous networking between its regional associations. Any association that engages promotional product companies is eligible to become an RAC member. Each regional association must elect a delegate to vote and act on behalf of the association.
Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for RAC Regional Delegate status, individuals are required to be active employees of one or more companies in their regional associations. Delegates must serve in at least one of the three committees within RAC: marketing and communications, development and membership. To serve as Delegates, they must also serve on the legislative committee of their regional associations.
