As the title states I am getting a null reference exception on build of my DAL. 

I have the models 
public Workflow()
        {
            this.Regions = new List<Region>();
            this.StoreActions = new List<StoreAction>();
            this.InvestigationTriggers = new List<InvestigationTrigger>();
            this.IncidentInvolving = new List<IncidentInvolving>();
            this.IncidentTriggers = new List<IncidentTrigger>();
 
            this._regions = new List<Region>();
            this._storeActions = new List<StoreAction>();
            this._investigationTriggers = new List<InvestigationTrigger>();
            this._incidentInvolving = new List<IncidentInvolving>();
            this._incidentTriggers = new List<IncidentTrigger>();
 
        }
 
        private Guid _id;
        [Key()]
        [Display(Name = "Workflow Id")]
        public virtual Guid ID
        {
            get
            {
                return _id;
            }
            set
            {
                _id = value;
            }
        }
 
        private string _name;
        [StringLength(200)]
        [Required()]
        [Display(Name = "Name")]
        public virtual string Name

            get
            {
                return _name;
            }
            set
            {

            }
        }
 
        private string _description;

            }
        }

        }

        }

        }
 
        private string _name;

        [Required()]
        [Display(Name = "Name")]
        public virtual string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return _name;
            }
            set
            {
                _name = value;
            }
        }
 
        private IList<Workflow> _workflows;
        [Display(Name = "Workflows")]
        public virtual IList<Workflow> Workflows
        {
            get
            {
                return _workflows;
            }
            set
            {
                _workflows = value;
            }
        }
    }
> _incidentTriggers;
        [Display(Name = "Incident Triggers")]
        public virtual IList<IncidentTrigger> IncidentTriggers
        {
            get
            {
                return _incidentTriggers;
            }

        private IList<IncidentInvolving> _incidentInvolving;

        public virtual IList<IncidentInvolving> IncidentInvolving
        {
            get
            {
                return _incidentInvolving;
            }
            set
            {
                _incidentInvolving = value;
            }
        }

 

and use the association

configuration.HasAssociation(w => w.Regions)
                .WithOpposite(r => r.Workflows)
                .MapJoinTable("WorkflowRegions", (w, r) => new
                {
                    WorkflowId = w.ID,
                    RegionId = r.ID
                });

 

but the exception is thrown on the last block of code provided. 

If I comment it out, the project builds fine and I am able to use the entities to insert into the database so I am fairly sure that it is just the Association which is failing. 

If I need to provide more information then I can do. 

Thanks in advance.
