On Tuesday, 13 October 2020, IAPA held its first virtual Annual General Meeting ever.

60 participants followed the reports of the Chair Linda James and her board team treasurer Goran Rannefors and Board member Michael Xie（Lopair General Director） as well as Managing Director Patricia Brunner.

The Board and management informed members about activities, campaigns and developments over the past one and a half years. In 2020, IAPA has offered many online activities such as webinars, panel talks or virtual get-togethers. IAPA will continue to offer online sessions on relevant topics.

Managing Director presented the various activities from WETM-IAC in Luxembourg in 2019 to IAPA´s presence on various social media channels.

Michael Xie provided information about the International Workshop in Mexico that was held in November 2019 in front of 40 participants from 22 agencies.

IAPA Au Pair of the Year

The Au Pair of the Year award 2020 was given to Wandi Zhu from China who stayed with a family in Germany. Since the Award could not be given to the lucky winner in Malta during WEM-IAC, Managing Director Patricia Brunner had visited her and her host family in their home near Hamburg to hand out the award.

During the AGM, we realised once more how important it is to bring the community together more often. 

Let's stay connected!
