IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) focuses on our mission and measures success by achieving mission-related goals. We could not successfully deliver our mission without the time, talent, and expertise of our volunteers. Great governance provides the vision and direction to ensure that an association is on the right path. The responsibility for governing IMA rests with the volunteer Global Board of Directors, operating according to a set of bylaws and working in close collaboration with the organization’s chief executive officer to set strategic direction, provide necessary resources, and make key decisions.
