Member Advisory Committees
IBAS leverages both standing and ad-hoc member advisory committees to provide management and the IBAS board of directors with input, guidance, and recommendations on key priority issues. This is done to ensure diverse member views are represented, and decisions reflect robust dialogue.
For more information about member advisory committees, or to submit an expression of interest to join a committee, please contact community@ibas.ca.
