Welcome to the new ISSFAL website.

Most of the website is open to all visitors. The "Member Only" areas are restricted to those members in good standing, and who have a valid password. User names are the same as e-mail addresses;

If you are an existing member of the Society visiting the new website for the first time, you will need to use the "Password Reminder" facility to generate a new password for your use when logging in to the member only areas of the site.This system will generate a new password and send it to your registered e-mail address. If your e-mail address has changed, or if the password requested does not arrive within an hour or two,then please make contact with the ISSFAL office and we will try to sort out the problem.

Once you have a password, you can log in to the "Member Only ". In this section you can review your personal profile, make any alterations to that record, add a photo of yourself, choose a new password, elect to take the Newsletter electronically, and have access to the archive of past Newsletters. The personal details also include your dues status, with a "paid to end" field. If your dues are unpaid for the current year (the ISSFAL subscription year runs from Jan 1st through Dec 31st) you should make arrangements to pay those dues as soon as possible. The Paypal system is now operating on this website. If you click here you will go to the Membership Dues page , which has a number of action buttons for Paypal transaction for the various membership grades. The Paypal system allows you to input your credit card details which results in the immediate transfer of credit to ISSFAL, and a debit item (in your local currency) appearing on your credit card statement in due course. If you require an invoice for the payment of your dues, a specimen copy can be downloaded by clicking here . These specimen invoices also provide bank account details and information on the various alternative methods of paying dues.
