Further to our communication below, if your FMA had a member what was formerly the IAA’s Health Committee or the Social Security Committee, we will transfer those members to the new Health Forum and the Social Security Subgroup respectively by 30 June, unless we hear otherwise from you via the survey.

Background

Following Council approval on 13 May 2021 for the creation of Forums, we are now in the process of setting up and populating these Forums.

As directed by Council, these Forums will be populated by volunteers designated by their FMA. Starting July 1, 2021, these IAA Forums will have two main categories of participants: 

1. Members: the formal representatives of IAA FMAs.

2. Observers: other volunteers who are designated by their FMA.

Note some Forums may also have representatives from Partner Supranational organization, Liaisons to other IAA entities such as Sections and/or Ex-officio members, as applicable.

Please click here for more information on Forums and Virtual Forums, and responses to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Request to FMAs

Using this link, you are kindly requested to designate Members and Observers to these new Forums before June 30, 2021. Please provide the full name and contact details for each delegate.

A note regarding Current Members and Interested Persons in the Task Forces

A separate communication will be sent to the current participants of the related current Task Forces informing them of this change. This communication will also inform them that the Members and Observers of the new Forums will be designated by FMAs. Hence, please be aware that you may see some correspondence from some of your members in this regard, especially from individuals currently participating in the Task Forces who were Members of former IAA Working Groups, or Interested Persons, who were self-nominated individuals.

It is up to FMAs to inform the IAA of your Forum Members and Observers. Thus, the IAA relies on your support in assisting to implement these changes that will impact many volunteers.

It is our sincere hope that with FMA support, we will be able to implement this change with minimal impact on these volunteers who have been making valuable contributions to the work of the IAA for many years.

Thank you.
