Regional Advisory Boards

A regional advisory board recommends direction, strategies, programs, events, and services for a geographic region. IAAPA currently has four (4) regional advisory boards:

  • Asia Pacific (APAC)
  • Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)
  • Latin America, Caribbean (LAC)
  • North America (NA)

Chairs of the regional advisory boards are selected through the global board of directors election process and serve as members of the global board.

 

Regional Task Forces and Committees

Each regional advisory board will determine the task forces and committees needed to advance the strategic priorities of the region. The task forces and committees will be evaluated annually and adjusted to meet the changing needs of the region. Task forces and committees can be focused on professional disciplines, constituencies, and special projects. Task forces and committees will be composed of members from the corresponding geographic region and/or representatives critical to the success of the region’s events and programs.

Each region will have committees focused on education and safety and security and may have additional task forces and committees to address the needs of the region.
