Board and Executive Committee
The Board
 |
| IOF President John A. Kanis |
See Board member profiles.
Board members are elected for a renewable term of four years, and meet twice a year.
In 2008 a Board Regionalization Committee comprising Board representatives from each of the five IOF Regions was established with the aim of assessing and strengthening IOF’s regional structure. Following approval of the Committee’s recommendations by the Board in 2009, it has been decided that each Region will be given equal representation on the Board. The change will be implemented with the next election of the IOF Board of Directors in 2012. Read more about IOF regionalization
The Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is a subgroup of the Board which functions as the decision-making body for the Foundation in the absence of the full Board. As such, it guides the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer in the day-to-day management of the Foundation and deals with those questions not handled directly by the President and the senior officers. Members of the Executive Committee include the President, Treasurer, General Secretary and Chairs of the Committee of National Societies (CNS) and Committee of Scientific Advisors (CSA).
The CEO and COO also attend both the Board and the Executive Committee meetings but have no voting rights.
