The IFLA 2017 General Assembly will be held today on Wednesday 23 August from 16:15–18:00 and reconvene at the Closing Session on Thursday, 24 August from 16:15–18:00.

The General Assembly is the annual general meeting of IFLA members. At this meeting, the President, Treasurer, and Secretary General will report on IFLA's annual activities and strategic directions.

Have your say!

The General Assembly is the highest governance level of the Federation and its key function is to determine the purposes and values of the Federation as a whole.  That is both a privilege and a responsibility and can only be achieved through Member participation: All IFLA Members or their representatives are entitled to speak at the General Assembly and have a right to vote if quorum is reached.  Voting can’t take place unless quorum is established, so it is crucial that all eligible members (or their sanctioned representatives) who are in Wrocław participate in this session. 

Non-voting members are also encouraged to attend, as it is an opportunity to show IFLA’s commitment to transparency and a “bottom-up” democratic process of governance.  Don’t miss out!
