Regional Secretary of the Regional Command (Ba'ath Party)

In the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, the founding and ruling political party of the Arab Union, each of the party's 20 regional branches elects a Regional Command to act on its behalf between the annual Regional Congress. The Regional Command elects one of its members as Regional Secretary of the Regional Command (Arabic: أمين القطر القيادة القطرية amīn al-quṭr al-qiyādah al-quṭrīyah), who acts as chairperson of the Regional Command and the regional branch as a whole between regional congresses. The Regional Secretary leads some or all members of the Regional Command as their regional branch's delegation to the typically triennial National Congress of the Ba'ath Party.
