IFEM Board
The IFEM Board consists of a representative from each Full member country. Affiliate and Ex-officio members are invited to attend Board meetings as observers but do not have a vote. IFEM's activities are governed by a
Constitution and
Bylaws.
A New Governance Structure
A new governance structure was approved by the Board in October 2011. A
new Board will be elected in 2012, comprising members of the Executive (Officers) and six regional representatives. The current membership of Full, Affiliate and Ex-Officio members has become the new Assembly. Further details are available from the Secretariat. The Committee structure remains the same.
