Membership and Committees Research

Account Associate: Marissa Orr

Gaining an understanding of what comes with an IBA membership is essential to know so
materials can be made to show membership benefits to potential members. Also, many current
members do not know all the benefits their membership may include, and this can pique their
interest with the IBA. Committees are also important for the IBA because they play a significant
role in the creation of the standards that members have to adhere to.
