Roles, responsibilities, and descriptions are available on the application page, as well as a brief description of committee purposes and desired volunteer qualifications.

Please note that IMA does not reimburse committee members for travel to meetings. Volunteers, therefore, should have the financial means and/or the support of their employers to participate in face-to-face meetings. If you are unable to fund your travel, consider applying for a committee that does not require travel.

If you have any questions, contact Pat Stefanczyk, CAE, IMA vice president of governance and volunteer leadership, at pstefanczyk@imanet.org or at +1 (201) 474-1592.
