Dear Patrick,
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for working groups and projects.
HIFA continues to be supported by many volunteers.
Your offer makes me realise we need to present a clearer picture of volunteer opportunities on our website. We shall try to do this in the coming days.
Meanwhile, here is a list of possibilities:
HIFA members
HIFA country representatives (X275) www.hifa.org/people/country-representatives
HIFA country representative coordinators (X5)
HIFA supporting organisation liaison persons (X400) www.hifa.org/support/supporting-organisations
HIFA supporting organisation coordinators (X2)
HIFA spotlight members (1-3; time-bound per topic) www.hifa.org/spotlights
HIFA project members (1-3; time-bound per topic) www.hifa.org/projects
HIFA social media group (20; LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram) www.hifa.org/people/social-media
HIFA is steered by the HIFA steering group, which delegates some of its functions to a HIFA projects and partners group
Special skills volunteers: We are currently seeking people with experience in (1) fundraising and (2) graphic design (perhaps starting with a graphic representation of volunteer opportunities!)
The input from each volunteer can be as little as 1 hour per month through to 10 hours per month.
HIFA profile: Neil Pakenham-Walsh is coordinator of HIFA (Healthcare Information For All), a global health community that brings all stakeholders together around the shared goal of universal access to reliable healthcare information.
