After several years serving IAML as the IAML Historian Roger Flury has decided to step down after this year’s congress in Kraków. The IAML Board is therefore seeking to appoint a successor to Roger and would like to encourage members to consider applying for this position.

Job Description

The role of the IAML Historian is to chronicle the development of IAML as an international organisation. This work can take several forms including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

An account of the Associations World Congress & Expo by Pia Shekhter, attending on behalf of IAML in place of Secretary General, Anders Cato.

A few weeks ago, 7-9 April to be precise, I attended the Associations World Congress & Expo as a stand-in for our Secretary General, Anders Cato. It was the 28^th congress in a series arranged by the Association of Associations Executives, which this year conveniently took place in my hometown Gothenburg. A full congress pass amounted to £695, but IAML was graciously invited at no charge.
