The North American Falconers Association was
founded in 1961 to encourage the proper
practice of the sport of falconry and the
wise use and conservation of birds of prey.
From a handful of members in its early
years, NAFA has grown to a membership today of
approximately 2,000 and is today the largest
membership falconry organization in the world. Though
founded principally to represent the
interests of North American members, NAFA
gladly accepts members from all countries
who share in our passion of birds of prey
and falconry.
NAFA is
governed by a Board of Directors elected by
the membership and operates under membership
approved bylaws and Board approved polices. The Board of Directors
consists of Regional Directors, one
representing each of eight geographical
areas of North America. There are also two
Directors at Large which represent the total
membership. The Board of Directors appoints
the President and Vice President and the
President, with approval of the Board of
Directors, appoints other officers charged with the
day to day operations of the club. |
