The North American Regional Council allows US and Canadian members to meet and address issues and topics that impact their regional market and gives them a voice internationally on the main IPAF Council. Those interested in participating should contact Tony Groat, IPAF’s North American representative, [email protected]

Speaking after his appointment O’Shea said: “It’s an honour to be elected to this important position. In taking on the challenge of increasing IPAF’s US footprint, I would first like to acknowledge the enormous contribution made by outgoing chairman Brad Boehler.”

“IPAF is first and foremost a members’ organisation and member value is vital to growth. I look forward to working closely with Tony Groat and the members of the regional council to provide our members with ever more significant value, and prospective members with many sound reasons to join.”
