Leadership

The ITI's Board of Directors and three Committees are made up of Fellows from various disciplines and countries.

The Fellows who sit on the Board and the three Committees volunteer their time and expertise towards defining and achieving the goals of the ITI. As the ITI's industry partner, Straumann has up to two seats on the Board and each of the Committees.

These four bodies answer to the General Assembly that comprises all ITI Fellows and meets once a year for the ITI Annual General Meeting.
