• Serving as IBRO regional ambassadors
• Developing and proposing the annual budget for IBRO’s Latin American activities
• Reviewing Latin American and global grant applications

IBRO-LARC Committee Members serve for 3-year terms (according to current IBRO by-laws established in February 2018) and have the option to run for re-election once. Candidates for new members are proposed by our Governing Council to the Nominating Committee who then evaluates and shortlists the final candidates. They are then presented to the Governing Council in an online election process that ultimately determines the new members.
