Being a trustee is immensely rewarding, providing expected and unexpected opportunities for personal development. The commitment you dedicate will make a direct difference to the charity and everyone it helps

Becoming a member of a committee is a rewarding and challenging role, it allows experienced professionals to use their specialist skills to serve the aromatherapy profession.

Regional representatives act as an ambassador of the federation in their local area. Regional representatives assist the IFA in publicising its charitable purposes, events, sourcing local services and are a point of contact for local members.

The Aromatherapy Times magazine and blog provide an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your talents both in your community and around the world and welcome submissions in a variety of formats on specified topics.

More research is imperative to add to the validity of our profession and to encourage more submissions we have provided the following as a suggestion of how to construct a scientific manuscript.

We encourage all aromatherapists to submit case studies so that we may build a bank of case histories to be used as a useful reference during campaigning activities and which we put forward before insurers, GP's and government bodies for wider recognition.

Whether you send a tweet, run an event, contact your local media, there are all kinds of ways you can help to raise the profile of aromatherapy in the media and in your community.

The IFA is working tirelessly to challenge the perception of aromatherapy, getting the word out there and funding various charitable projects and we need your help to continue this work.

There are so many ways to get involved and help raise money for our worthy cause. Fundraising can be fun and provide an opportunity to meet new people as well as making a difference.

For the IFA to do its work effectively and reach out to more people we also need supplies of products and equipment i.e. towels, essential oils, inhalers etc. for our volunteer therapists.
