Governing Council

The IAS benefits from the leadership of a Governing Council made up of world-leading HIV professionals who are prepared to devote their time to the IAS mission.

The IAS Governing Council is the elected thought leadership body of the organization. It guides and contributes to IAS thematic work, ensures compliance with the IAS Bylaws and IAS internal rules and regulations, represents the interests of IAS Members in the regions, and reviews the annual audited accounts.

See the list of former IAS Governing Council Members.
