Affinity Partnerships

Affinity Partners of International Association for Public Participation, USA are businesses and organizations with a national reach that have a strong track record of providing services to public participation practitioners, demonstrate outstanding customer service and an understanding of the environment in which IAP2 USA members operate, and offer a program, product, or service that is applicable to our members and tailored specifically for them. Our goal is to work with people and organizations who are creative, committed, and passionate about public participation practitioners and the advancement of the people and communities they serve. 

New affinity program relationships are negotiated with IAP2 USA individually. Each relationship is unique and prospects are carefully considered on a case-by-case basis; partnerships often take three to six months to develop and finalize. IAP2 USA does not offer exclusivity or endorsement, but we do vet our partners extensively.
