Hall of Fame

About the Hall of Fame

Inaugurated in 2014, the IAF Hall of Fame celebrates members who have worked hard to advance both our profession and our association.  It recognises individuals who have contributed to our field of practice and who have served the association in some extraordinary way.

Please note: the programme has been paused and is currently under refinement. 

Broad Criteria

Members of the Hall of Fame must have:

  1. Been a IAF member for at least 8 years; 
  2. Made ‘significant contributions’ to the field of facilitation;
  3. Shown a high level of dedication and service to the Association.

 

 

The term ‘significant contribution’ is defined as having advanced the profession of facilitation by: adding to the body of knowledge in the field through publication or through social media channels; offering wide-spread facilitation training and mentorship; conducting and disseminating research on the science of facilitation; or through promotion of the power of facilitation.

A high level of dedication to the association could include serving on the IAF Board of Directors or on one of the many committees or working groups, through volunteer activities and through the promotion of the IAF that is above and beyond that expected of normal active membership.
