Nominations are now open for new members of the International Association of Wildland Fires' (IAWF) Board of Directors.
IAWF is committed to maintaining a positive, empowering, inclusive, and innovative culture where all members of the wildland fire community feel safe, valued, heard, and included. We recognize that diversity encompasses differences between people and include recognition of ethnicity, culture (including indigenous peoples), personality, age, sexual preference, disability, religious beliefs, social and economic standing, as well as profession, education, work experiences, and professional identity. And inclusivity creates feelings among groups of diverse peoples of equal value and respect, equal access to opportunities and resources, and open and accepted contribution of perspectives and talents.
We welcome and encourage nominations for all individuals meeting the requirements listed below, and we will also accept self-nominations.
Nominations will be accepted through September 30, 2020 and successful candidates will begin their 3-year term on January 1, 2021.
