| Why is the IPA
useful for me?
The slogan in Esperanto of the IPA is SERVO PER AMIKECO, what means SERVICE THROUGH FRIENDSHIP The aim of the members is to serve through friendship, not more but also not less. The use for members is mostly idealThere are no financial or material advantages, no privileges for IPA members. IPA members have to identify themselves with the slogan of the IPA IPA members make professional connections on a private basis. This is good for the intellectual horizon and helps to do a better job in the hard Police work The question should not be "How is the IPA useful for me?" but "How can I be useful for the IPA?" |
