Annual review

Read the annual review of the IAF Africa region. 

A new chapter

From January 2018 you will only be able to join one home chapter.

Why the change? In the past, members have been able to join multiple chapters, and this has created some challenges for those who govern the chapters, so the new policy makes it much clearer:

  • where you can vote for your local board
  • how many members there are in each chapter 
  • where you can volunteer
  • which chapter board you can join

Guest membership. We know many of our members work in different geographical areas and are interested in working with other chapters. That’s why we’re working with chapter leads to develop a guest membership, creating new opportunities to work with other chapters. This is part of a wider review of chapter workings this year.

Do you have a vision of how guest membership or chapters could work better? We’d like to hear your ideas - you can contact your chapter lead or myself on memberships@iaf-world.org.

Thanks,

Dirk Wouters
IAF Director of Membership and Chapters
