IMA Governance
IMA Netherlands is a member-driven association. Our members are at the heart of everything we do.
Each year, our members come together during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to review the past year, discuss future plans and make important decisions about the direction of the association. Every Professional Member has the opportunity to participate, vote and contribute to the future of IMA Netherlands.
The National Committee is elected by the members and is responsible for leading the association in line with the decisions made at the AGM. Throughout the year, the Committee works on behalf of the membership, organising events, strengthening partnerships, supporting professional development and helping our community grow.
The AGM is more than a formal meeting. It is an opportunity to have your voice heard, influence the future of the association and help shape the community you are part of. We encourage every member to attend and actively participate.
