Regions & Divisions

The NMRA is divided into 17 Regions which cover the United States, Australasia, Canada and the British Isles. There are other NMRA organizations in the rest of the world. Each of the 15 Regions which cover the United States and Canada are made up of, with one exception, two or more adjoining states/provinces or parts of states. The NMRA Regions elect officers and publish newsletters. Each Region holds one or more conventions each year, usually two-day affairs on weekends, making it easy for members to attend.

Members have prepared a downloadable Regions & Divisions Handbook, containing ideas and assistance in running and maintaining a Region or Division. This living document provides insights into the activities possible at all levels of the NMRA organization.

Consult the list below to find out which Region you are in:

* these states/provinces are divided between two or more Regions

The Regions are further divided into Divisions, which also have officers and publish newsletters. Most Divisions hold one or more one-day meets each year. The smaller size of Divisions makes it even easier for members to attend these events. Consult the President of your Region or the NMRA Headquarters office to find out your Division and the name and phone number of its Superintendent. Many (but not all) Division meets are announced in the NMRA Bulletin.
