regional offices

Decentralized administrative locations

Regional offices are satellite locations of an organization, positioned in different geographic areas to serve local populations or manage operations closer to the ground.

A company headquartered in New York might maintain regional offices in Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

Government agencies use regional offices to administer programs across the country: The EPA's regional offices handle environmental enforcement in their territories.
