NAFA North American Falconers Association

North American Falconers Association was founded in 1961 to encourage the proper practice of the sport of falconry and the wise use and conservation of birds of prey.  From a handful of members in its early years, NAFA has grown to a membership today of approximately 2,000 and is today the largest membership falconry organization in the world. Though founded principally to represent the interests of North American members, NAFA gladly accepts members from all countries who share in our passion of birds of prey and falconry .

NAFA is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership and operates under membership approved bylaws and Board approved polices. The Board of Directors consists of Regional Directors, one representing each of eight geographical areas of North America. There are also two Directors at Large which represent the total membership. The Board of Directors appoints the President and Vice President and the President, with approval of the Board of Directors, appoints other officers charged with the day to day operations of the club.
