Alejandro \u00c1vila Espada was the initiator and the first president of the chapter. He still heads the Spanish chapter based in Madrid.<\/li>\n<li>The Israeli chapter followed suit and was established during the international conference in Rome in 2006. Based in Tel Aviv, it was then chaired by Rina Lazar .<\/li>\n<li>The time was then right for a new IARPP committee to help and coordinate the efforts to increase international representation at IARPP. During 2006, Hazel Ipp, then the president of the organization, initiated the new committee. The board appointed Chana Ullman (Israel) and Neil Altman (NY) as co chairs of the Local Chapters committee.<\/li>\n<li>The first task of the committee was to establish guidelines for the formation of IARPP chapters. These guidelines are available on our website and upon request. The board then approved the allocation of funds to support the establishment of local chapters. These funds are to be used to finance inaugural events or special activities of new local chapters. The board decision then affirmed that the promotion of local chapters is a very important way to grow IARPP. The decision reinforced our belief that local chapters provide a way for individual members to have a sense of face to face involvement with IARPP that counters the sense of anomie that a large online organization can breed, allowing for a feeling of personal recognition in the organization.<\/li>\n<li>A UK local chapter was the third chapter, established in 2008 headed by Susie Orbach and Aaron Balick.<\/li>\n<li>Following the next international conference in Tel Aviv Israel (2009), the professional community in Sidney Australia established a local chapter.<\/li>\n<li>Their neighbors in New Zealand soon followed with a chapter of their own.<\/li>\n<li>The international conference in Madrid in 2011 was organized by the Spanish local chapter with Alejandro \u00c1vila Espada and Ram\u00f3n Riera as chairs. This conference initiated much interest in relational thinking and IARPP in Spanish speaking countries, culminating in the formation of local chapters in Chile (chaired by Andr\u00e9 Sassenfeld) and in Portugal (chaired by Luis Frederico Pereira).<\/li>\n<li>Despite economic hardships and crises, a group based in Athens Greece also started organizing around online and ongoing seminars given by relational scholars. A Greek chapter chaired by Alexis Mordoh was approved in 2012.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, during the Santiago conference we were pleased to be joined by representatives of a new chapter in Mexico City, chaired by Alejandra Plaza.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are using this opportunity to call on you, members of IARPP in parts of the world not yet affiliated with a chapter, to organize your professional community as an IARPP chapter. Local chapters provide IARPP members with the opportunity to gather in face to face interactions supplementing the larger communities that gather at conferences, and in online discussions. Local chapters are self-governed within the IARPP guidelines, initiating seminars, local conferences, peer supervision, publications and more. Local chapters provide the framework for working together to enhance and deepen knowledge, for innovation and the development of cross-cultural perspectives on our work as practicing clinicians and\/or intellectuals interested in relational perspectives in psychoanalysis.<span style=\"color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.714285714;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.714285714; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Currently our local chapters (with contact person\/chair and number of members) include:<\/p>\n<p>Australia<br \/>\n69 members<br \/>\nMarianne Kennedy<br \/>\nma&#114;&#105;&#97;&#110;&#x6e;&#x65;&#x40;&#x73;&#x70;ia&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;&#x2e;&#x61;&#x75;<\/p>\n<p>Chile<br \/>\n160 members<br \/>\nAndr\u00e9 J.
