There are approximately 300 Representatives from nearly 90 countries and territories on the IGFA International Committee. These Representatives act as ambassadors of IGFA - a liaison between the angling interests in their areas across the globe and IGFA Headquarters in the United States. Consideration for new candidates is primarily based on personal recommendations, recreational fishing experience and knowledge of the IGFA and its history, rules, the recreational fishing industry, geographical location and other factors. Subsequently, IGFA Representatives must demonstrate integrity and knowledge with respect to the recreational angling community at home and abroad.

IGFA Representatives are asked to support the many goals and programs of the IGFA, with emphasis on encouraging anglers to become members and promoting the conservation goals of the IGFA. As members of the International Committee, adherence to IGFA’s philosophy, mission and future endeavors is critical to IGFA’s success as a premier international recreational fishing organization. The IGFA is dependent on the assistance of these great men and women and we thank them for their support.

Contact information is reserved for members of the IGFA. For more information, please email: hq@igfa.org
