IFLA North America Regional Division

The IFLA North America Regional Division covers Canada and the United States of America. As with other Regional Division Committees, it focuses strongly on advocacy, identifying priorities for the region, and defining and delivering on action plans that respond to these. This includes work to build capacity, communicate about IFLA’s work and offer, extend IFLA’s membership and reach, and strengthen the voice of libraries. Through its Chair, the Regional Division Committee also raises emerging and priority issues with other Division Committee Chairs through the Regional Council. The Regional Division Committee has a mission to work with other national and regional library organisations and to build more powerful advocacy with the United Nations and other agencies. The Division Committee works closely with IFLA Headquarters. For more information, please visit https://www.ifla.org/units/north-america-regional-division/
