IAP2 members are members of an international organization
Recommendation 1
IAP2 members can join the region of their choice
Recommendation 2
All IAP2 members automatically enjoy international benefits
Recommendation 3
Members will be engaged at both the international and regional level. A communication protocol will be developed to ensure member engagement by international and regions will be better coordinated
Recommendation 4
International and regions will work towards a unified membership database
Recommendation 5
International will support members at a global level with initiatives and activities for the benefit of all members (e.g., global conference, research, advocacy, communities of practice). Where appropriate the lead of a particular member initiative may be delegated to a specific and/ or multiple region(s)
Recommendation 6
Regions will continue to support members and the community with activities such as training, local advocacy and events
Recommendation 7
Regions will support international initiatives for the benefit of the practice
I like this and I would like to marketing and messaging about the connection between and benefits of the International/Regional/Chapter relationships. I often do not think about the research or benefits at the International level. It would be great if there could be work done to highlight the relationship and the benefits.
Recommendation 5 I find the use of the word global a little confusing...if it is being used as the same as International, then I would stick to international or put it in Direction 1 as how international and region are being used.
Where do Chapters fit in this model?
Recommendation 4 "International and regions will work towards one membership database" will help us track and develop the global force that we already are.
I could see some tension with Recommendation 4. I think there would need to be some clear protocols around a single membership database around access and utilisation eg marketing, communications
something about it still feels messy and not solid as a foundation. They all are good in an age where inbox fatigue is an issue, multiple communication channels to member, become confusing and each ends up via for recognition when we are all ONE global membership, served by local chapters/affiliates etc
