About our Affiliated Societies

The IALP is very important in this world which is becoming increasingly more international. International exchange of professional knowledge, information and education is essential to quality services and science in our discipline. The IALP encourages international co-operation for science and services and fosters communication across nations and among professionals. There is no other organization that allows and fosters professional knowledge and exchange of science and services across 55 affiliated societies in 35 countries around the world. The affiliated societies of the IALP are in North and South America, Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe and represent more than 300,000 members.

Function & Work

The role of the representatives of the Affiliated Societies on the IALP Board is to create a reciprocal dialogue between IALP and the members of the Affiliated Societies on how we can actively work together. IALP values affiliated societies as the basis for the Association and seeks to develop a stronger role for them by continuously engaging them further in the strategy of the Association. Affiliated societies were split according to their size to make sure IALP engages appropriately with each society according to their needs and interests.
