In an effort to better meet the diverse needs of our international membership, the IDEA League is fostering the establishment of affiliate organizations in countries around the world. This process began with the creation of the IDEA League UK in 2008 and the IDEA League France in 2009. Affiliates in Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, and the region of the northern Balkan states (former Yugoslavia) are currently in development. If you would like information regarding establishing a branch of the IDEA League in your country or region, please contact Marilyn Baker, IDEA League Excutive Director at marilyn.b@IDEA-League.org.
