Organisational structure[]

The SSIO is ordered into nine zones. A number of regions are then created in each zone. For example, both the US and Canada are in zone 1, however the United States is in region 11 while Canada is in region 13. Each region then branches out to individual centers^[11][12]

The center structure operates with the Service, Youth, Education, Ladies and Spiritual coordinators addressing the center president directly, who in turn reports to the regional coordinator. (The regional coordinator acts a liaison between the centers' presidents and the regional council) The president of each center has with him or her a secretary, vice president and treasurer.^[13]

The regional organisational structure (using region 13 as an example) consists of regional coordinators (from various geographic parts of the region) reporting to a council chairperson. Independent of the regional coordinators, the Service, Youth, Publications, Education and Spiritual coordinators report directly to the council chairperson who then communicates with the central coordinator of that region.^[13]
