Our Mission Statement
The International Iridology Practitioners Association was founded for the purpose of increasing and diffusing knownledge concerning the art and
science of Iridology and to provide a forum for the exchange of information and research with the goal of promoting excellence in international
Iridology standards.
Overview
One of IIPA’s most important functions is overseeing the training and certifying of professional Iridologists and Iridology teachers. Our certification program is designed to ensure high standards of Iridology education and practice.
Educating the public and other health care professionals about Iridology and other eye sciences is another task IIPA is fulfilling. We are addressing this challenge through our new Public Relations department. We hope that you will find Iridology and other eye sciences in the news more and more as a result of these efforts.
IIPA currently has 5 departments to fulfill it’s goals. The Administration department is responsible for all administrative duties, legal issues, foreign chapters, policies and proceedures, etc.. IIPA officers consist of:
- Cheryl Matschek, President
- Anita “Trixie” Barnett, V.President
- Marion D. “Micki” Jones, Treasurer
- Dave Carpenter, Immediate Past President
Please see the Directors section for more information or to contact these people.
The Finance Department is in charge of the budget and all financial plans. This department is headed by Marion D. “Micki” Jones.
The Certification and Accreditation Department is headed up by Marion “Micki” Jones who oversees all IIPA educational activities as well as the accreditation of schools and institutions that teach IIPA Comprehensive Iridology.
The Research Department, headed up by Dr. Peter Guhl, is working with various research projects in the field of iridology. The department is always looking for interesting ideas and submissions for valid studies.
The Public Relations Department works with the media and the IIPA website and works hand in hand with our Communications Department.
Because IIPA is made up of volunteer members we need your help in furthering our goals. If you want to contribute to IIPA by working with one of these Department Directors in some way please notify them and let them know what you feel you can and want to do. They will certainly find ways for you to assist Iridology.
