Regions and Chapters
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.
For currently scheduled Chapter meeting dates, times, and locations, check the Events calendar.
