MEET OUR BOARD of directors


Board Appointing Associations:

IBTS’s work is guided by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives of five national associations representing city, county, and state level governments. This means our efforts are directly informed by elected and appointed officials, providing IBTS with unique insight into the needs, challenges, and priorities of the public sector.
