Three members of the JFLA staff recently attended the 28th Annual International Association of Hebrew Free Loans (IAHFL) conference in Dallas. JFLA is a founding member of the IAHFL, an umbrella organization providing networking and support opportunities for Hebrew/Jewish Free Loan organizations world-wide. Member agencies from the United States, Canada and Australia attended the three day conference to exchange ideas about agency procedures, fundraising, event planning, and much more.

Local experts spoke on a variety of topics, including recruitment of board members, electronic marketing and resource development. Conference attendees visited the renowned Nasher Sculpture Garden in Downtown Dallas, and attended the Dallas Hebrew Free Loan Association 75th Anniversary gala dinner.
