Membership Drive
By Michael Frese, President IAAP
Membership Drive for countries underrepresented in IAAP
IAAP is systematically underrepresented in some countries and is very
well represented in other countries. Therefore, I suggest that we make a concerted
effort in particular countries where, in principle, there are many
psychologists, but where IAAP is underrepresented. From my look at the
membership distribution, I find the following countries underrepresented (I
have looked at the 2002 membership list – the newer 2003 data were not included
– but there should not be a systematic difference):
1) South Africa
2) China
3) Israel
4)
5)
6)
7)
8) Argentina
9) Brazil
10) Mexico
11) Phillipines
12) Canada
13) Austria
14) Czech Republic
15) Denmark
16) Finland
17) France
18) Hungary
19) Ireland
20) Russia
21) Switzerland
22) Turkey
Just to give you a rough idea. The following Western developed countries
have less members than The Netherlands:
1)
2)
3) Portugal
4) Greece
5) France
6) Finland
7) Denmark
8) Belgium
9) Austria
In a number of countries we only have one or two members, for example:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9) Kuwait
10) Lebanon
11) Iran
12) Cambodia
13) Bahrain
14) Bangladesh
15) Zambia
16) Swaziland
17) Namibia
18) Zimbabwe
19) Czech Republic
20) Luxembourg
21) Slovakia
22)
23)
24)
25)
26) SVL
27) Columbia
28) Peru
29) Venezuela
30) Pakistan
