About the IBA Board
The Indiana Bankers Association operates under the guidance of the Association’s Board of Directors. Acting as the governing body of the IBA, the Board consists of 17 members: three elected officers, one past chairman, the association president/CEO, two representatives of national associations, the Future Leadership Division president, a non-Indiana headquartered bank director and eight regional and at-large directors.
The Board, acting with the same authority as the board of a bank or corporation, develops IBA policy and establishes long-range goals and objectives. Directors also help determine the IBA’s legislative programs and positions on banking-related issues.
An executive committee — consisting of the chair, first and second vice chairs, immediate past chair, association president/CEO and two directors appointed by the chair — is authorized to act in lieu of the Board between regular board meetings. Officers serve one-year terms and are elected by the membership at the IBA Annual Convention. Members of the 2026 Board assumed their positions on Jan. 1.
