Dear IFSA Family,

We are happy to announce that the new IFSA team for 2020/21 is now complete, and we offer our heartfelt congratulations to all the new Officials.

The majority of IFSA Officials started the new term more than a month ago and have already actively begun to fulfill their tasks, but some have joined the team only recently. Now we finally have a hardworking team of 53 Officials.

You can see the whole team at ifsa.net/team or by checking the list at the end.

We truly believe that with such an amazing, diverse and motivated team we can have a great IFSA year. Together we’ll find a way to successfully navigate our association through these unprecedented times maximizing the opportunities offered by the online engagement and trying to minimize the issues.

We’re proud of having an amazingly diverse team this year both region- and gender-wise, so here are some statistics about us!

For a world that appreciates forests,

IFSA Board
