Regions and Chapters
FALA is made up of six Regions, each represented on the FALA Board of Directors by a Region Director. Within each Region, FALA Chapters are organized to provide members the opportunity to meet on a local level, exchange ideas and information, and receive education. Each Chapter sets their own schedule for meetings based on times best suited for the members.
