Section Activities

MEET THE IAIA SECTIONS!
IAIA is a member-based organization which currently has thirteen Sections that cover different types and aspects of impact assessment. IAIA Sections provide opportunities for IAIA members with these mutual interests to share experiences and discuss ideas in an informal setting. Sections provide a forum for active topical debate and for development and promotion of good practice.

IAIA Sections have a chance to meet during each annual conference, and they also have a rolling program of work throughout the year. The members of the Sections and their activities are the life-blood of IAIA: through the Sections, IAIA members can feed into the organization of each annual conference, publish different materials, and develop new lines of thought.

When you pay the non-member conference rate, you automatically become an IAIA member and are eligible to join one or more Sections.

WHY JOIN AN IAIA SECTION?

• Sections are a networking forum for IAIA members, where you can meet your colleagues with similar professional interests.
• Sections promote your personal professional development.
• Sections develop interesting activities that you may want to join.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE SECTIONS AT IAIA15?

• All sessions that have been organized by the Sections are clearly identified in the preliminary and final programs.
• Each Section will hold one or more Section meetings during the conference, which everyone is welcome to attend.
• Rendezvous tables will be identified at lunch times, where Sections can meet informally to continue discussions.
• Section chairs will be identified by ribbons on their name tags so that you can find them during the conference.
