Overview

IAF New York City is open to all IAF members within the New York metro/tri-state area (i.e. we welcome those who commute or find themselves in the city from Connecticut, New Jersey or upstate New York). 

The group meets every two months (with a summer break from June to August) at venues in and around Manhattan. We usually feature a professional development activity, followed by networking among fellow facilitators. 

The chapter was approved by the IAF Board of Directors in 2013, as described in its Guiding Charter.

We keep our governance simple: a "Chapter Steward" is designated each year to oversee basic coordination of the group. This person acts as a focal point for members and a liaison with the IAF's Regional Director for the United States. 

Member's annual dues to the Association at the global level maintain their membership in the New York City Chapter. The Chapter does not accrue any resources, financially or otherwise.

Use of Language to Create Inclusiveness in Groups
September 9, 2019 -  6 PM Eastern

This session will explore the power of language and how it has the ability to create an inclusive environment, or unconsciously exclude people from hearing what you have to say. Expand your facilitation skills through building self-awareness of the things you communicate to others and how you can begin to rephrase your thoughts and words. Annette Denny from The University of Waterloo in Canada will lead the session.
Please RSVP to let us know if you are attending.
