The International Administration Centre of
the IPA is located in Nottingham, England.
|
Arthur Troop
House, Nottingham |
In 1986, due to the increasing
membership of the Association, the need for permanent staff was
identified. It was recognized that it would be
increasingly difficult to move the administration from Section
to Section. As such, a permanent centre was established in Great
Britain in 1987 at the Headquarters building of the British
Section. The archives of
the Association are also accommodated here, with records going
back to the beginning when our founder Arthur Troop first
started to make his contacts. |
The International Secretariat comprises
of John Waumsley, the
International Secretary General,
Georgios Katsaropoulos, the
Assistant International Secretary General,
the IAC secretary, Mrs Wendy Donaghy, her assistant, Mrs Lesley
Hughes and our webmaster, Edwin Sutton.
The main task of the
International Administration Centre is dealing
with the day to day business of the Association world
wide which includes:-
- Publishing an International Secretary
General’s Newsletter, which is circulated to all Sections monthly
- Compiling Agendas, Reports and Minutes
for IPA
World Congresses, International Executive Council
Conferences and meetings of the
Permanent Executive Bureau (PEB),
together with arranging for all necessary translations into the 4
official languages of the Association, English, German, French and
Spanish.
- Liaising with the 5 working
Commissions
of the Association each of which is Chaired by a member of the
PEB. The Commissions are:-
