Committees

IAFE programming and activities are largely determined by the work of the committees, which are divided into three categories: administrative, activity and education program. Click on links below to view each committee's objectives and current members.

Time to sign up to serve on an IAFE Committee!

  • Serving on a committee is a fantastic way to network with other members whose interests or specialties align with yours.
  • Serving on a committee is EASY! If you’re attending the Convention, join in the live discussions held on during the meeting. Once the new year begins, the committees will start regular conference calls. Some “meet” via conference call only 2-3 times per year; others meet monthly. Calls are fairly short, generally less than an hour.
  • Committees drive the educational program content for your Association! Each committee presents at least three topics for consideration for the annual convention and these are “put to the vote” in an on-line platform. Last year over 48,000 votes were cast and the result is a Convention program that truly reflects your concerns and interests.

EDUCATION PROGRAM COMMITTEES: Anyone associated with an IAFE member (fair, associate, state/provincial association) is invited to volunteer to serve on any committee listed below as "Education Program." All Education Program Committees are asked to recruit members to submit at least three articles for the Fairs & Expos Magazine and six items for the IAFE Online Library. Each of these committees is also asked to contribute ideas for the Annual Convention programming. In addition, each committee is asked to select members to serve on the Foundation Fund-Raising Committee.

ACTIVITY COMMITTEES: Each activity committee has designated appointees, but others are welcome to volunteer. See each committee for any limitations.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEES: All members serve as appointed or selected according to specific procedure.
