    IRMA Governance in Transition: From Steering Committee to Board of Directors

    In 2019, IRMA transitioned to a membership organization in which members will elect Board representatives for their respective sectors. The Board will consist of sector representatives (from all of the sectors named above), skilled experts, and select appointees. The Board will have balanced sector based representation. Pertinent documents will be public as soon as possible.
