Regional Groups
The Jane Austen Society of North America has 76 regional groups across the United States and Canada.
Each Region plans and hosts local meetings and events—from discussions of Austen's novels to speaker events, workshops, and celebrations of Jane Austen's birthday. Some events may be open to the public as well.
To participate in a JASNA Region, you must be a member of JASNA. Once you become a member, you may join one or more of any of our regional groups.
- For information on forming a new JASNA Region or to update contact information, email the VP for Regions, Liz Philosophos Cooper: liz.p.cooper@gmail.com.

There are no organized regional groups in Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Montana, or North Dakota. If your state isn't listed in the directory, please check to see whether there is a nearby Region in a neighboring state(s).
