IAPD Board of Directors | IAPD Staff

IAPD is built on a system of volunteer actions, which link the association with the real world issues of its members. IAPD’s committees, task forces and common interest groups (CIGs) represent, involve and serve the membership and provide a great way for you to make your mark on the industry!
