The NAM Regional Convention is a gathering of the Maronite Laity of a specific region, sponsored by NAM and hosted by one of the parishes, missions or communities in that region. The purpose of this meeting is to unite Maronites from the various parishes or communities of the region; to foster and develop our religious and cultural heritage; to serve as a channel for information and education, enabling us to exemplify our Maronite Christian Heritage, under the direction of the Eparchial Bishops for the United States.

The regional convention is usually a three-day event from Friday through Sunday.  On  Friday the hospitality room is opened in the afternoon to welcome conventioneers.  Friday evening usually begins with Ramsho (evening prayer) either at the hotel or at the church of the host parish.  This is followed by a "welcome reception" with light foods, music or entertainment and dancing.   The Saturday schedules usually includes Safro (morning prayer) followed by one or two educational, spiritual and/or cultural presentations and concludes with a business meeting for attending delegates, chaired by the Regional Vice-President.  Often the afternoon is left unscheduled for shopping or visiting sites of interest in the city.  Occasionally, a special tour may be scheduled.   An informal Banquet and Hafli is always scheduled for Saturday evening.  The main event on Sunday morning is the Divine Liturgy, held either in the host parish church or hotel, with breakfast following the liturgy.
