Regional Offices
FIA is organizationally located within the
Research and Development Deputy Area of the
U.S. Forest Service. FIA has three levels of
internal management: an executive level involving
senior executives from the Forest Service and
State Forestry Agencies, who provide broad policy
guidance; a management level consisting of field
program managers from the Forest Service and
States responsible for implementing the program
on a day-to-day basis; and a technical level
consisting of groups of technical specialists
drawn from the Forest Service and States, who
develop, document, and review program procedures.
Across the country, program work is coordinated
out of four regional units. Each region
maintains their own internal set of regional
customers and partners who collaborate in program
implementation.
