Regional managers know their "markets" and how to act and deal with them. I guess most of the Board of Governors is made up of wealthy or very important members, and many times their reality is very different than that of normal regular people.

Also, if regional managers can come up with their own plans, they will be extremely motivated to follow them through. They know that if something goes wrong, all the fingers will blame them.
