Organization and administration
The management and administration of IPIN Americas is structured through the following bodies:
General Assembly, the highest institutional body, made up of the qualified members of each country.
Advisory Council, with regional representation, that advises and supports institutional management.
Board of Directors, responsible for the management and implementation of the Institute's policies.
Executive Secretariat, responsible for operational and administrative coordination.
The General Assembly meets regularly every two years, preferably in conjunction with a naval engineering or maritime and river transport congress, and defines the main technical and administrative guidelines, as well as electing the governing bodies. The term of office for the governing bodies is two years, ensuring institutional continuity and equitable representation of the member countries.
This composition strengthens the technical, institutional and collaborative character of IPIN Americas.
