IIA Global Governance Structure Approved

Dear Member,

On behalf of our Global Board of Directors, we would like to thank IIA members around the world who showed their overwhelming support for proposed changes to The IIA’s governance structure. We are pleased to inform you that the proposal was approved by members at the Annual Business Meeting in Dubai, UAE, on 9 May 2018.
 
The new governance structure: 

• Reduces the size of the Global Board of Directors to 17 from 38 members. The Board will include no fewer than six members from outside North America and six from North America.
• Establishes a six-member Supervisory Committee that will advise the CEO on issues and initiatives, and also serves as the Compensation Committee. The existing Executive Committee will be eliminated.
• Establishes a new Global Assembly, replacing the existing Global Council, and includes a formal designee from each international Affiliate. Members will provide input to the Global Board on key IIA initiatives, priorities, and other activities.

 
We are gratified by the strong endorsement of the governance changes by members. This new structure will ensure maximum value to all members, along with robust oversight of IIA activities.
 
For more information about the changes, which will take effect in July 2019, please visit our website.
 
Sincerely,
