37th IFWP Congress
Board Meeting August 2017
BOARD MEETING AUGUST 2017
On the first days of August part of our board met in Alicante. We thank Victoria Laporta Foundation and Vicent Ferri for the use of the hides in part of he day. The board members Anita Campbell (Secretary), Pal Hermansen (Vice-president) and José B. Ruiz (President) reviewed the first 6 months of the new board, discussed and agreed about activities and future plans, and visited the room and councillor of Bocairent, in the province of Valencia, where our next congress in taking place. One of the most needed results is the implication of our members to make IFWP well known between their associates and also the benefits of being member, as the use of the hides in the program Hides for Conservation. It is becoming necessary to have a link and a brief about our Federation in every website of our members.
