The IREM volunteer leadership team directs the activities of the organization. They are supported by a Headquarters Team of association development, management, and administration professionals. Executive Committee members and Regional Vice Presidents are part of a larger IREM leadership group called the Governing Council, which also includes elected CPMs, ARMs, ACoMs, CPM Candidates, all international and domestic chapter presidents, and other ex officio members. The Governing Council is the final authority on decisions affecting Institute bylaws, policy, and budget matters.
