The History of the IAPC
| In November 1968, Michel Bongrand of France and Joseph
Napolitan of the United States invited a handful of veteran political
campaign managers from 15 countries to meet in Paris. For a few days,
they discussed the causes and effects of electoral politics and
exchanged information and opinions about campaign techniques. At the
end of the meeting, they decided to formalize their professional
interests by organizing the International Association of Political
Consultants, informally known as the IAPC. |
| |
Over the next two decades, membership grew to encompass more than 100
men and women who represent a broad spectrum of professional political
activities. The majority are from countries where change occurs freely
through open and fair political processes. |
| |
|
While the main focus of the IAPC is an annual conference during which
members hear presentations and discuss the latest developments in
political campaigning, the IAPC offers a vast political network of
professionals that members use throughout the year for advice and to
promote business activities. |
