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.
