What is iADH

The iADH is an international association whose council is made up of representatives of many national organizations from around the world. Any country that has a national society that advocates for the disabled may join the iADH and appoint a member to sit on the council as a representative of that country. Countries who have more than 60 members in their national association are allowed to have 2 members to represent them on council.

Every two years the council meets at an international congress and during a general meeting elects an Executive that includes a President, a Secretary-Treasurer, the President-Elect, the Immediate Past-President, two Members at Large and an Editor.

The Executive meets at least once every year and is responsible for running the regular business of the association. The central office of the association is in the country of the current Secretary-Treasurer and the official language of the iADH is English.
