Structure

Officers, elected by the membership, comprise a President and an Executive Committee of eight members drawn from across the IPPA region. A Secretary-General and Editor(s) are appointed by the Executive Committee.

During the Hue conference of the Association in September 2018, Professor Philip Piper was selected by the Executive Committee as the next Secretary-General of IPPA, to replace Professor Ian Lilley, who held the position from 2009 to 2018. With this decision the President and Executive Committee finished their terms. During 2019, a new president and committee for IPPA will be elected.
