We've done this in Minnesota, even though we aren't in districts. So for example one "Chief" LRI to help keep all the LRI's organized, oversee training opportunities, and coordinate with our VC and the regional planning committees. It may be a little overkill right now with just 4 events, but I think it's helping to set up a good structure that can easily grow when needed. It also helps to spread out the training concerns - While a VC may just be worried about having someone in that role at their event, the chief's can focus on ensuring they have enough to cover existing events and enough in training to account for attrition and the addition of new events. You definitely need that overall view of the region, regardless if you are in regionals or districts... if everyone is just focused on their event, you'll never have the right people available to add events without forcing people to do extra duty the first year or two of a new event.
