An executive committee — consisting of the chair, first and second vice chairs, immediate past chair, association president/CEO and two directors appointed by the chair — is authorized to act in lieu of the Board between regular board meetings. Officers serve one-year terms and are elected by the membership at the IBA Annual Convention. Members of the 2025 Board assumed their positions on Jan. 1.
