On 21st January 2021 the first GAISF Associate members meeting was held, with 17 organisations in attendance.
The meeting was begun with opening words from Mr Jose Perurena, representative of Associated Members at the GAISF Council and Nis Hatt, GAISF Interim Manager.
During the meeting, Mr Perurena presented the annual report. It was an opportunity to present the results of the survey that identify the main areas that will pave the way for a closer cooperation between the Associate members. Four main areas were identified: Support, Networking, Synergies, and Involvement.

The participants stressed the need to share more knowledge and experience and to start cooperating in a more structured way within the initiatives of the members and take advantage of the extreme variety of the members to further develop each others activities.
