People

IGA has a vibrant and creative team. It is governed by the Board of Directors, 30 in total.

The Board of Directors is divided into eight permanent committees, though other functional committees may exist from time to time. Board Members meet at regular intervals and hold Annual General Meetings. Please find an archive with BoD members from 1989-2016 here: BoD member archive.

The IGA Secretariat supports the Board of Directors with their activities and runs the day-to-day business.
