Your last sentence is definitely on point.
The FIRST office in NH does not directly organize and run the nuts and bolts of the many FRC Regions/Regionals. FRC Regional Directors and state (regional?) boards have broad semi-autonomous authority (within bounds).
For natural/understandable reasons, this organizational factoid is lost on many participants. They just think of FIRST FRC as a single monolithic organization, when it actually contains something akin to a franchise structure (not exactly, but there are similarities).

PS: With great authority comes great responsibility.
PPS: When are we going to move from discussing symptoms and consequences, to discussing root causes? to be followed by change suggestions?
