- Council members serve for two years
The IABM has announced the line-up for its newly formed DACH Members’ Council. The formation of the new Council was driven by the result of the recent EMEA Members’ Council elections.
IABM said that the response to the EMEA elections was so positive in terms of the number of candidates and companies wanting to get involved, it was clear that an additional Members’ Council specifically for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) would be welcomed.
IABM Regional Members’ Councils serve for a term of two years, tasked with a mission to act as a powerful voice in each region’s broadcast and media technology industry, provide a platform to bring local issues to the fore and deliver events and support tailored to regional members’ needs.

“For the past three years IABM has been implementing an initiative to set up Regional Members’ Councils, allowing IABM to focus on particular regional issues that affect member companies and are key to growth and prosperity for all,” said Lucinda Meek, IABM finance director, who oversees all IABM’s Regional Members’ Councils. “The formation of the DACH Members’ Council further reinforces our commitment to supporting our members’ locally in addition to the wide range of central services IABM offers.”
“Regional Members’ Councils have enabled IABM to engender a greater sense of community and support in a time of unprecedented industry change,” said Peter White, CEO, IABM. “As well as providing a forum to guide IABM’s activities in each region, they also bring member companies together with a range of region-specific activities that deliver practical business benefits pertinent to local market conditions.
