When referring to my own organization's headquarters, I call them "internationals" because we are an international organization. When generalizing, I try to incorporate both, when I think about it. And I often correct my own sisters when they talk about other organizations and classify them as "international" just because we are; but only if I know the other organization is a national and not international organization. I guess it depends more upon what you were told to refer to the headquarters of your organization when you were a new member...from there, it's more of a hold-over.
