Councils + Committees

Councils and Committees are an important focus of IAB Canada’s structure, and offer unique opportunities for project leadership, knowledge-sharing and networking across various areas of interest or specialization.

The Councils discuss larger industry and regional issues; the Committees determine best practices and standards; identify research gaps in various channels; and, with approval of the Board, establish the ongoing priorities for IAB Canada.
