IPA Elections 2025
The IPA is a membership organisation that is run by and for its membership. The elections cycle is a vital activity for the membership to choose the Board of Representative members who will take day to day responsibility for policy and development of the Association and the Profession. In 2025, the membership will also elect the IPA Treasurer.
IPA Election turnouts vary across the 3 Regions. To demonstrate democratic engagement an increase in turnout would be welcome.
All members are invited to:
1. Ensure that your Component Society has your current email address.
2. Ensure that your dues are up to date so that you can be considered in “good standing” for voting and nomination.
