I want to see and be critiqued by others from everywhere. I think what I am requesting, a way to sort members by their listed location, is the best solution. I could find others nearby my home location OR if I will be traveling to a certain location, I can find the members in that area easily. This way unless I actively search for either, my default is to interact with everyone, not just a "local chapter".
