The Secretariat

Meeting the Secretariat of IAF

The International Authors Forum (IAF) is supported by a dedicated Secretariat that ensures the effective coordination of the organisation’s activities and the delivery of its mission. The Secretariat works in close collaboration with the IAF Steering Committee and with member organisations across all regions, supporting their priorities and representing their interests at national and international levels.

The Secretariat plays a central role in maintaining IAF’s global presence, strengthening engagement with members and partners, and ensuring that the voices of authors and visual artists are heard in key policy discussions around the world.
