Officers & Directors 2021-2022

IPLOCA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of 24 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 2021-2022 IPLOCA Board of Directors took place via Zoom on 21 & 22 September 2021. Election results were ratified by the membership at the Annual General Meeting on 28 October 2021 in Athens, Greece and the new Board immediately took office.
