Board Members

IBPA is governed by a voluntary board of directors that regularly meets to discuss and plan the association’s business. Board members reflect IBPA’s varied membership and serve two- to four-year terms during which time they serve on committees, attend four annual meetings and represent the best interests of the book publisher association’s members. We welcome applications for board positions.
