Board of Directors

ATINS is governed by a Board of Directors elected for a two-year term at the Annual General Meeting that is usually held in late April or early May. Each year half the Board is retired, and other members are elected for a two-year term. Several special committees are created which concern themselves with various activities relevant to the professional life of the members. Members are encouraged to work on these committees, and thus contribute to the development and recognition of their profession.
