- Members Area
The International Osteoporosis Foundation’s global governance reflects our commitment to maintain a high level of international representation and coordination. The Board and Executive Committee are comprised of leading figures in the bone, muscle and joint health field.
The IOF Board comprises four representatives from each of the five IOF regions. Where a region has an IOF administrative office, two Board Members are elected by the region, with the remaining two elected by the global membership. Where a region doesn’t have an IOF administrative office, all four Board Members are elected by the global membership.
Board members are elected for a renewable term of four years and meet twice a year.
