IATUL Board of Directors

The IATUL Board of Directors is composed of the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and at least four further representatives of IATUL members. Board members are elected for a term of three years.

The duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors are multifaceted. It provides members with accurate and sufficient information when seeking their support for decisions. The Board of course acts in the best interest of the Associations as a whole and gives members honest feedback and advice.

The role of the President is to lead the Association and to chair the Board. The Vice-President substitutes for the President in his/her absence. The Secretary conducts the everyday business of the association and the Treasurer is responsible for all financial affairs.

Some examples of the Board’s work are the preparation of the financial report, participation in board meetings and the support of IATUL events, e.g. reviewing papers or assisting the local organising teams.

In its work the IATUL Board pursues the principles of good governance and reflects the following values:
  • Consensus oriented
  • Participatory
  • Following rule of law where the association is registered
  • Effective and efficient
  • Accountable
  • Transparent
  • Responsive
  • Equitable and inclusive
