IBA Governors met in Dallas, Texas, in January, 2009, and approved a new governance structure for the Institute. The Governors stated that “it is in the IBA membership’s interest to provide for member oversight of critical IBA activities. IBA’s leadership shall support the organization by promoting a high level of proficiency and professionalism among its members, through its credentialing process and its mentor program. IBA accomplishes this through a Board and Committee structure. The Boards and Committees will work to support innovative member services, through course and product development, research, authorship and instruction.”

Contact your regional governor to obtain a wealth of technical support and information.

 IBA Regional Governors are elected by the membership of their respective regions to three year terms. Elections are held annually and rotate to the appropriate regions. IBA Regional Governors oversee regional educational events, help support members in their regions, host the IBA National Conference, and provide IBA Headquarters with input and feedback about IBA’s policies and programs. All IBA’s Regional Governors hold the CBA designation. Local chapters are active in several states and metropolitan areas providing members with networking and educational opportunities. For more information about existing local chapters, or starting one in your area, contact your local Regional Governor listed below or contact IBA Headquarters via email, hqiba@go-iba.org or by calling (954) 584-1144.
