Chapter Officers
Here are the current members of the St Louis IIBA Board of Directors. Board members are elected at the Annual General Meeting or appointed in between meetings to fill vacancies. Serving as a chapter officer is a voluntary two year commitment to the governance of our local chapter of the IIBA and represents a significant investment in time and skill.
