The Forum for International Retail Association Executives (FIRAE)
seeks to promote the exchange of information among national retail
trade associations around the world and works to identify
opportunities for cooperation in domains of common interest.

FIRAE is open to all national retail associations and elects a chairman from among the member associations to preside for a two-year term.
NRF serves as the secretariat for FIRAE, which meets twice a year,
once in January at NRF's Annual Convention and again in the 2nd or
3rd quarter of the year in a member host country.
