IAH Annual Report 2025

Governance and Managing

During 2025, IAH continued to strengthen its governance, ensuring the organisation remains well managed, transparent and fit for the future. The Executive Committee, Trustees and Council reviewed governance arrangements, financial sustainability and member engagement, while progressing improvements to policies, organisational structures and support for national chapters and technical networks.

Alongside this, IAH reinforced its commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility, recognising that effective governance depends on an inclusive and globally connected community. Looking ahead, the Association has identified clear priorities to 2030, focused on strengthening member services, expanding education and outreach, enhancing global partnerships, and improving organisational effectiveness.
