Icelandic National League of North America
(excerpt from the INLNA website)
WHAT IS THE ICELANDIC NATIONAL LEAGUE OF NORTH AMERICA?
The Icelandic National League of North America (INLNA) was established in 1919 as a non-political, cultural organization that strives to promote the Icelandic heritage, culture and traditions that our families brought to this continent:
- through cooperation among North American Icelandic cultural groups
- and by maintaining ties with the people of Iceland
We are proud to be affiliated with the Þjóðræknisfélag Íslendinga, the Icelandic National League of Iceland.
INLNA maintains a head office, an email address, a website, a facebook presence, has regular executive meetings, annual conventions and offers a variety of programs/activities for it’s members to participate in, such as:
International Visit Tours (to/from Iceland/North America), Icelandic Heritage Calendar, INL Reads Program, Donald K. Johnson Film Screening Program, Icelandic Settlement Tours Program, INL T-Shirts, and other programs as they are developed.
The Icelandic National League of North America is compiled of various groups and individuals from across the United States and Canada. The categories of involvement are: Chapter/Club Membership; Associate Membership; Individual Membership; and Provisional Membership
Currently there are 25 Icelandic clubs, affiliates, associates, and individual members from across Canada, the United States and Iceland that are full members of INLNA. Other Icelandic groups and organizations are invited and always welcome to join us.
Chapter/Club members enjoy input and access to all INLNA activities and programs and have voting privileges at executive meetings and conventions.
Chapter/Club members contribute to the endeavors and operation of INLNA through an annual membership fee (based on the number of adult members in their club….) $4 each for up to 50 members, and $2 each for 51 or more members) and have 1 vote per member at our Annual General Meeting.
