Board Members

IMRO is governed by a Board of Directors comprising 15 non-executive directors.  Seven of the directors are writer members and five are publisher members, all of whom are directly elected by the membership.  In addition, there are three external directors on the Board.  External Directors are not members of IMRO and they are appointed by the Board on the basis of the particular expertise and skills they can bring to the workings of the Board.
