The IBMA is a member-led organization. Our Board of Directors is elected by professional members. Volunteer committees make possible a large percentage of IBMA’s annual programs. The IBMA office, in Nashville, TN, has a staff of five which implements the directives of the Board.
The DEI Committee was formed as a standing committee by the IBMA Board in 2022 with the purpose of creating a safe space for honest and open conversations, to raise issues and areas for improvement, and to develop action plans to increase diversity in our organization.
