Our Leadership
The final responsibility for AIJ's policy lies
with the General Assembly, which meets in March and
May every year. Legally appointed Representatives of
AIJ members and Officers (President, Vice-Presidents,
Directors, Chairmen of Chapters, and Auditors) have
the right to participate and approve the agenda. It
is the General Assembly that discusses and determines
the general policy of AIJ. At the General Assembly
held in May, new Officers of the next term are
appointed. The affairs of AIJ are managed on behalf
of the General Assembly by the meeting of AIJ Board
of Directors. The AIJ Board is appointed for a two-year
period. The Board consists of the president and five
vice-presidents, 10 directors, nine chairmen of
chapters and two auditors, and one managing director.
