Selected by members every two years at the General Assembly, IFI is led by an Executive Committee and Executive Board. Headed by the President, President Elect, Past-President,  Chief Executive Officer, the IFI Executive Committee leads the charge on IFI initiatives and provides overarching governance for the Federation.
