Friends of Geography
Friends of Geography are Honorary members of the Institute of Australian Geographers. They are a select group of prominent public figures from diverse backgrounds, invited on behalf of the Institute in recognition of their long-term interest in Geography.
They have an understanding and appreciation for the discipline and act as advocates for geography, either based on formal training in the discipline or a strong personal passion for geography (or both).
The Friends of Geography initiative commenced in 2015 and will expand over time. Suggestions for new nominations are welcome and may be made in writing to the IAG Council.
