Presented by Fiona Clark, IFWLA President IFWLA Conference - July 2006 Margaret’s nomination is from the IFWLA Officers in recognition specifically of her role as the inaugural IFWLA Archivist, until she handed the role over to the VP (Administration) in 2006. Although Margaret is a native of England she has been a resident of Wales for many years, and has served not only Wales, but also the IFWLA, with distinction during this time. Throughout her life Margaret has received various accolades, and has been recognised for her accomplishments as an Administrator. Margaret represented Wales at 13 IFWLA Conferences over a 16-year period from 1986 – 2001. Her travels took her to the USA on 5 occasions, Australia, Japan, Sweden, Scotland, England (twice), and to Wales. She provided for Wales a consistency of attendance; The second delegate for Wales varied frequently, and included Ali Hope, Kath Lewis, Julie Anne Warren, and Mary McKnight, to name but a few. Margaret has attended every IFWLA World Cup as Archivist for the IFWLA alongside her role as President of Wales.
