Patronages by the AIJP for International Events

Preface

It isn't a really new idea of introducing a patronage of the AIJP because there were patronages many years ago. It is such patronages that offer the Executive Board the possibility of honouring outstanding national and international events and also promoting the AIJP, the name and its existence worldwide. Why these patronages fell into oblivion is not known.

Not any event can be awarded a patronage. It should not be misused to make profit but promote philately by good press work for high-class events which serve the claims and aims of the AIJP. The patronage is to be seen as a special kind of partnership that serves both partners.

So patronages can correspondingly be awarded for all events which have to be assigned to the title 'international' even if they are only national exhibitions. Applications have to be addressed to the president who assigns the approval in agreement with the Executive Board.
