IMA Board of Governors

The Board of Governors consists of 15 distinguished mathematical scientists from academia, industry, and government laboratories. It is the principal external governing body of the IMA. It provides oversight and direction for all major aspects of the IMA operation. The Board keeps aware of all major aspects of the IMA operation. They advise the Director on the management of the institute. They approve any major policy changes and programs, including the approval of the topic of the annual thematic program and its organizing committee. They select the Director. The Board, with a combined expertise covering a very broad range of contemporary mathematics and applications and access to an even broader portion of the relevant communities, is an important source of suggestions for program topics, lead organizers, and programmatic mechanisms for the IMA.

Participating Institutions Council

The Participating Institutions Council consists of one representative, often the head of the mathematics department, from each academic IMA Participating Institution. The PI Council is an important source of input and oversight for the IMA, and an important conduit for information from the IMA to reach the academic community. The Council is kept aware of the activities of the IMA through regular mailings. It meets for a full day each year.

Industrial Advisory Board

The Industrial Advisory Board is the industrial counterpart of the IMA Participating Institutions Council. It consists of one representative from each of the IMA Participating Corporations and the non-academic Participating Institutions. The Industrial Advisory Board is an important source of input and oversight for the IMA, and an important conduit for information from the IMA to reach the industrial community. Its members keep aware of IMA activities through emailings, and the Board meets for a full day each year.
