chapter (regional)

A "regional chapter" refers to a local branch or subdivision of a larger organization, often an association or society, that operates within a specific geographic area, such as a city, state, or region. It helps the organization serve members more effectively by focusing on local needs, facilitating events, networking, and providing support tailored to that area's members. These chapters work under the broader organization's guidelines but allow for regional flexibility and engagement, fostering community and collaboration close to where members live or work.
