In 2015, the Federation Board sought input and advice on the appropriate roles and responsibilities for the Federation and the Affiliates and the Federation Board summarised this here.
In 2016, when the Federation Board asked for further input on a funding model, we noticed a shift in how members viewed the roles and responsibilities of the Federation and its Affiliates. The Federation Board came to a realisation - perhaps we are trying to fix a model that is broken beyond repair? We decided that we needed to reimagine our future.
This section presents a summary of what we’ve heardContinue reading
The Federation currently consists of a Board made up of representatives from Affiliates, supported by four part-time staff members and funded from licence fees paid by Foundations trainers. If we were starting over, what would an international body, network or connection look like? We’ve made some suggestions here to get you going.
The current model is good and I’d like to further explore its funding
There should be an international governance body solely responsible for the IP (including assessment of new training products, standards and accreditation)
Affiliates grow the culture, run the trainings, develop new products and services, and oversee quality. The Federation reviews/approves all IAP2 materials, guards maintains the IP and manages the brand. Affiliates pay a percentage of gross annual profits (before expenses) to support Federation roles and responsibilities.
Affiliates would be established with the assistance of the international board, but would be responsible for their own membership and training (could offer a mix of country and international training models). The international board would be the leader for research, reviews, scholarships and global conventions for all affiliates.
The Federation (or whatever organizational title is developed) would ensure IAP2-owned trainings are kept up to date, trainers are recruited and vetted, trainings are marketed across affiliates and new organization-wide trainings are developed as necessary.
The ideas shown here are a summary of feedback heard over the past two years about the role of the IAP2 Federation. We’d like you to think of this in terms of the role of an international network, connection or body. If you endorse the role shown, please vote for it. If you disagree, then comment. And if you think there’s something missing please add it.
Seek out, connect, and collaborate with other likeminded organizations
Reviews/approves all requests to use IAP2-copyrighted products/tools
Reviews all Affiliate developed products for use of Core Values, Spectrum, and Code of Ethics.
This could be done through affiliates by way of educational scholarships to be invested locally. Lobby global universities to update curriculum with international engagement subjects.

The thought that one day we might be able to say what we do and have people understand what this is?
Having completed training brings a level of confidence to engagement planning and helps to manage up within my organisation.
After the Foundations and EOP2, I appreciate new trainings developed for experienced practitioners to gain new tools, stay up to date on the practice
Rules differ around the globe resulting in unique approaches that can be utilized and adapted around the world.
Friendships, collegiality, partnering opportunities, opportunities to learn from others, just being in a room with others who know what public participation / community engagement is and what it could be, increasing professionalism.
