Peter Anas

Executive Director

Peter Anas is President of Anas Marketing & Management, Inc., incorporated in 1984 in Canada and 1987 in the USA. IFDH is one of the clients to which they provide staff and office infrastructure. His experience as an Executive Director is vast, providing strong leadership and association management and oversight. He has served in the past as Executive Director for 5 other non-profit associations. Peter’s training from Price Waterhouse international accounting firm and successfully running his own business for over 30 years, have proven invaluable for giving IFDH into the business side of administering non-profit organizations and adept oversight of monthly accounting and establishing annual and project budgets. His breadth of work experience in the publishing, developing his own publications and in advertising with a national advertising agency, has helped IFDH in developing their strategic plans and direction in publications and communication vehicles. This experience has helped in the development and ongoing coordination with all IFDH corporate sponsors. As a volunteer himself, he has been involved with several non-profits as a member, committee chairman and President of a chapter-based, national organization. This experience from a member’s perspective is extremely vital in understanding an organization’s issues and solution options, as he provides input on almost a daily basis with the IFDH President and Board of Directors. Peter’s many years involved with associations and business gives him the background to establish IFDH budgets and negotiate hotel and vendor contracts. Peter is a consensus-builder by temperament, a keen proponent of superior member service and commitment to his clients, confirmed by the long tenure of his employees and client base.
