IIFET History: Executive Committee Members
Executive Committee members serve four-year terms, and are elected every two years in alternating groups of 4 and 5. From 1982-1994 the Executive Committee was headed by a Chair; the offices of President and President-elect were established in 1994. Each President serves two years as President Elect and the following two years as President.
