ANNUAL CONFERENCES

One of the major activities of the IEF is its annual conferences, which are often held in partnership with other organizations and events, and frequently rotate between continents to give more members a chance to participate. For members who cannot attend, some form of e-conference is organized over the Internet so that everyone can contribute.

ORGANIZATION OF IEF

While the IEF is a "virtual" organization without legal status, it does operate according to statutes that define its purpose and organization. A Governing Board elected at an Annual General Assembly guides the IEF, decides on membership, and organizes its activities.

The annual General Assembly, held during the annual Conference, is the opportunity for the membership to elect the Governing Board of the IEF, review the activities of the past year as described in the Annual Report, consult on future activities and make recommendations to the Governing Board. Members can participate in person or over e-mail.

GOVERNING BOARD

The Governing Board is elected each year by the world-wide membership during the General Assembly

WORKING GROUPS

WORKING GROUP ON EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS

EDITORIAL GROUP

While the IEF is open to members of all faiths and no faith, it is inspired by the principles and values of the Bahá'í Faith, and works to apply these principles to the practical problems of sustainable development and the environment facing the world today.
