The Regional Office created the DRCLAS Regional Office Consultative Group (ROCG) made up of 13 alumni and friends from the five countries and the U.S. to advice the Regional Office on the way it can have the most impact in the Region.  This group, that has had meetings both in the region and at Harvard, once a year, has been especially helpful with Harvard students and faculty initiatives, as well as helping generate sponsors for the DRCLAS Corporate Partners program.
