IAF Brand Ambassadors

Being a good facilitator is a great way to promote the power of facilitation, and the IAF brand.

Would you like to boost your promotional and branding abilities?

To build more awareness and understanding about the power of facilitation, the International Association of Facilitation (IAF) works with Brand Ambassadors to leverage their facilitation skills to benefit their own brand, as well as the branding of IAF chapters, regions, campaigns and events.

Become an IAF Brand Ambassador

We are looking for people to be the voice of the IAF as well as the creators of a beautiful organisation.

  • Being a spokesperson for the IAF (speak at conferences, develop outreach & partnerships, publicity & news coverage, feature in media and videos.)
  • Improve the brand (Support IAF locally with visual identity, tone of voice, member engagement, communications & media)

Among the benefits attached to this role are: learning how to better promote facilitation, understanding how brands and reputations improve, widening the market for facilitation, deepening respect for the facilitation, not to mention inspiration, credibility and visibility.

The ideal candidates for this role care about how people perceive facilitation, or have an eye for making things look & feel good. We are looking for at least one person from every chapter, with additional people for regional roles and conferences. You may simply have curiosity about the subject or have a developed visual, oral, design or marketing skills.
