Committees and Working Groups for US members
IMA members in the US are encouraged to get involved in local and global committees and working groups. AIMA standing committees operate on a global basis and membership is by invitation. Working groups are established as a result of interest shown in a topic by the membership, or staff assessment of the importance of an issue.
When you are added to a working group, you can expect to receive updates on the regulation relevant to that group, as well as invitations to join calls and meetings of the working group. Members of our working groups are encouraged to ask for new topics to be raised on calls, and make suggestions for new guidance notes or summaries. Active working group participants might also be asked to participate in meetings with policymakers.
Manager members are also welcome to get involved in peer groups related to their particular function.
