The Imperial Shrine of North America recognizes 20 regional Shrine Associations. These Associations allow individual Shrine Temples to join together for fun, fellowship and camaraderie. It also allows Shriners an opportunity to share ideas on how to improve Shrinedom in their region of the country. At Association conventions Shrine Units from different Temples compete against one another. Competitions include Chanters, Oriental Bands, Clowns, Motorized Units, Pipes & Drums, Foot Patrols, Horse Units, etc.
