The Board of Flourishing
Yesterday, 15 March 2026, Flourishing held its first general meeting since its founding meeting on 23 March 2025.
The principal milestones in the building of the association were reviewed, and this development has progressed rapidly, as both the leadership and the group of officiants consist of an outstanding team with extensive knowledge and experience.
The admission process to Humanists International is proceeding well, and the association’s application for official registration with the state is currently under committee consideration.
There was a poetry reading and singing, but the central focus of the general meeting was the presentation of honorary recognitions and the expression of gratitude to three humanists for their significant contributions to the cause of humanism in Iceland.
