IPLO 2020

2019-2020 Board of Directors 

IPLOCA is governed by a volunteer board of directors made up of 25 owners and senior executives of major pipeline contractors and service companies. Directors representing the Regular Members divided into geographic regions and directors representing Associate Members are elected by the members of the association and generally serve a term of two years.

Elections for the 2019-2020 IPLOCA Board of Directors took place at the convention in Bangkok on 3 October 2019. Election results were ratified by the membership at the Annual General Meeting on 4 October 2019 and the new Board immediately took office.
