Board of Directors, Staff, and Committee Organization
The IAAP board is comprised of 19 members, including the chair of the Associate Member division, selected by a nominating committee and voted upon by the general membership. Candidates for directorships and committee representatives are carefully selected from around the state and a prudent balance in appointments is desired to give proportionate representation to both large and small member companies.

Committees
The key to the IAAP’s success has been a strong committee system at both the Board and member level.
Board committees, comprised of the IAAP’s Executive Director and a variable number of Board members, make decisions, establish policy and oversee expenditures as appropriate in each of these specific areas.
Member committees are comprised of employees of member companies and staff of state and federal agencies involved with the industry as well as persons representing educational institutions and stakeholders who benefit from and support the industry’s drive to remain successful. These committees plan and implement programs that respond to all aspects of the aggregate and industrial mineral industry’s regulatory, technical, and public outreach needs.
