IPC GOVERNING BOARD

IPC GOVERNING BOARD

The Governing Board is currently composed of 14 members, of which 12 are elected at the General Assembly (President, Vice President and 10 Members at Large). The Governing Board, collectively, is the representative of the IPC General Assembly.

The Governing Board is responsible for setting the policies and for ensuring that the directions set by the membership at the General Assembly are implemented. It meets at least three times a year in person and meetings are chaired by the President. The Chairperson and first Vice Chairperson of the Athletes' Council are full voting members of the Governing Board. The Governing Board may have up to three co-opted members.
