IMZ General Assembly Confirms New Board and Directorate
On 18 February in Berlin, the IMZ General Assembly formally confirmed the new Board and Directorate that will steer the organisation through the 2026–2028 term.
The transition had been in preparation since September 2025, when outgoing and incoming board members met at a joint IMZ Board Meeting during the ITF Golden Prague to discuss the handover and the strategic priorities shaping the sector ahead.
The IMZ extends its gratitude to the outgoing board members for their service and contributions, and welcomes the newly elected members as they take up their roles.
