RAILS has named 18 local regions within the system, to improve communication among members and to provide accessible locations for RAILS and networking group events.
Each region has:
- A RAILS Community email list for discussing local issues and coordinating events
- Continuing education events tagged by region
- Member networking group directory listings tagged by region
The named regions are:
- Aurora Area
- Bloomington/Normal Area
- Burr Ridge Area
- Chicago Area
- Freeport Area
- Galena Area
- Galesburg Area
- Joliet Area
- Kankakee Area
- LaSalle Area
- Macomb Area
- Moline Area
- Northbrook Area
- Peoria Area
- Quincy Area
- Rockford Area
- Sterling Area
- Sycamore Area
The regions are named for the city or town in the approximate center of the region, and each region is designed to cover a fairly wide area. You are not restricted to a single or specific region and can choose your level of participation in regional activities.
