The Annual Report deadline is for those Affiliates wishing to be considered for one of the five Affiliate Awards. The Reports, which are a requirement of affiliation, may also be filed past the deadline. When submitting the Report, please be reminded to provide the original and three copies for jury review. If filing electronically, IAFP will copy for the jury a maximum of 10 pages of photos/attachments beyond the base report pages. Affiliates seeking the highest quality visual presentation should send four bound copies by mail (one is retained by the IAFP office). In the spirit of “going green,” simple yet thorough submissions are encouraged. Affiliate Meeting Support from IAFP. IAFP’s provision of support materials for Affiliate meetings will be simplified.
