# Institute of Fundraising seeks volunteer members for five of its committees - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/07/28/iof-seeks-volunteer-members-five-committees/ - Published: 2016-07-28T17:43:07+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake **The Institute of Fundraising is inviting its members to join one of the five key committees that advise its Trustee Board and which help guide the work and direction of the Institute.** It placed the invitation in the context of the changes it has undergone in the past year in the context of developments in the self-regulation of fundraising. It referenced in particular its merger with the Public Fundraising Association, which is [now expected to take place next month](http://www.civilsociety.co.uk/fundraising/news/content/22150/deadline_for_completion_of_proposed_pfra_and_iof_merger_delayed_by_one_month).
