The IFA Executive Board: Nan Bernstein Ratner (IFA President), Kurt Eggers (IFA President-Elect), Elaine Kelman (IFA Past-President and Secretary), Shelly Jo Kraft (IFA Treasurer), Shelley Brundage (Membership Chair, ex-officio), Courtney Byrd (IFA member-at-large) and Pascal van Lieshout (Editor, JFD, ex-officio).

Background: The IFA has been a registered entity since 1990. As is appropriate to the founding and subsequent administration of an international, non-profit organization, it operates under a series of governing by-laws that have functioned reasonably well over the past 30 years, but which are starting to show their age in rather obvious ways.

We are pleased to announce the results of the recent IFA election for Treasurer-Elect and Member at Large.

Shelly Jo Kraft will continue as Treasurer-Elect;

Courtney Byrd will continue to serve as Member at Large.

IFA member Nick Chiasson, a graduate student at the University of Delaware, is conducting research on communication attitudes and the impact on social, academic, professional, and romantic life. Please consider supporting Nick’s research by sharing the link to this online, anonymous survey with males who stutter between 18-30 years of age: https://delaware.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3NHW8FVQwt7YOcR 

The IFA Research and Publication Committee has invited a number of  experts to write an introduction to a topic with references to help explore the topic.   The authors are strongly encouraged to cover important work from other researchers as well as their own.

Each note represents the opinion of the writer, and is not intended to represent the views of the IFA, its boards or its membership as a whole.

It is a goal of the IFA to improve clinical services to people who stutter through more opportunities for clinicians to receive specialized training in how to conduct stuttering therapy. With the Global Workshop Initiative, the IFA would like to reach out to those (fluency) clinicians who might not normally be able to access international conferences or workshops designed to provide or improve clinicians’ skills in helping to treat people who stutter. There is a special focus on underserved regions and developing countries.
