The Intergovernmental Personnel Benefit Cooperative (IPBC) is governed by its members. This member-driven structure gives participating public entities an active voice in the oversight, direction, and long-term management of the Cooperative.
IPBC's governance structure includes the Board of Directors, Executive Board, Finance Committee, Operations Committee, and Membership Committee. Together, these governing bodies provide oversight, review programs and financial matters, establish policy, and help ensure IPBC continues to meet the evolving needs of its membership.
How IPBC Governance Works
Member Groups → Board of Directors → Executive Board → Committees
IPBC's governance process is designed to encourage member involvement at every level. Member Groups participate through the Board of Directors, the Board elects the Executive Board, and IPBC's committees provide focused review and recommendations on financial, operational, and membership matters.
This structure helps ensure that decisions are informed by the organizations IPBC serves and that members have opportunities to participate in the Cooperative's direction.
Get Involved
Member participation is an important part of IPBC's governance structure. IPBC Member Groups are encouraged to attend Board and committee meetings to stay informed about Cooperative activities, upcoming initiatives, recommendations, and decisions.
Members who are interested in becoming more involved in IPBC governance may also have opportunities to serve on an IPBC committee. Committee appointments are reviewed as part of IPBC's governance process.
