The Iowa Foster and Adoptive Parents Association has created a listserv exclusively for support group leaders across the state to connect and exchange information.  The listserv is available to share ideas, provide notice of events and training opportunities, and to ask and respond to questions about support group facilitation.

All members have the opportunity to post information or questions.  Members also have the opportunity to share their expertise by answering questions or responding to information submitted by other listserv members. 

IFAPA staff member Nancy Magnall is the listserv moderator.  All postings come to her for approval and she forwards them to the other members of the group.  Nancy is a foster/adoptive parent who has facilitated her local support group for 12 years.

If you are in a leadership role with a foster/adoptive parent support group and would like to become a member of the IFAPA support group listserv, send an e-mail to magnall_ifapa@yahoo.com and you will be added to the membership list.
