Governance
Our governance structure, from the Board of Directors to the Executive Committee, ensures that we remain at the cutting edge, guided by the principles of integrity, clinical excellence, and the relentless pursuit of advancing the science and practice of implant dentistry to improve patient care globally.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors, appointed by the General Assembly, convenes at least twice a year. The four members of the Executive Committee – President, President-Elect, General Secretary, and Treasurer – are nominated from among those directors and validated by the General Assembly.
The Executive Committee approves the day-to-day management decisions in coordination with the Committees’ Chairs.
