IAHAIO

IAHAIO, the International Association of Human-Animal Interaction Organisations, was founded in 1990 to gather together national associations and related organisations interested in advancing the understanding and appreciation of the link between animals and humans.

The Association's Secretariat is based at Delta Society in Renton, Washington, USA with representatives from four sub-committees co-ordinating membership, conferences, projects and finance from other associations around the globe.

The Association's main role is to provide a helpful co-ordinating structure between all member countries. As the worldwide interest and support for this young science increases, IAHAIO's role as a communication link is essential to convey latest research findings and encourage further program development. In addition the Association has established a series of international awards to acknowledge contributions made by individuals or institutions in the study of the human-companion animal relationship.
