IPPF EN Regional Council

The IPPF European Network (IPPF EN), like its parent body IPPF, is a voluntary organisation. Each Member Association (MA) has a board made up of volunteers who develop policy for their association.

In turn, volunteer representatives of all the MAs form the Regional Council, which meets yearly to define the strategies and policies of the IPPF EN.
