Country Liaisons are key to the Association. The role of liaison is to disseminate information, promote involvement, and encourage IFNA membership and conference participation of their colleagues in their own country. Country liaisons must be IFNA members and will work closely with a Country Liaison Coordinator to identify key audiences and develop strategies for promoting IFNA in their country. We hope to have multiple liaisons from many countries. If you are interested in becoming a country liaison, Click here.
