The International Game Developers’ Association, Inc. is a California-based nonprofit governed by a Board of Directors consisting of up to six appointed directors, at least three elected directors, and an optional ex-officio member.
Voting rights are restricted to individual members in good standing, while the Board of Directors holds ultimate authority over all business affairs and the appointment of officers.
Directors serve three-year terms, and the four primary officer roles—Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer—are appointed by the Board to serve one-year terms.
The organization utilizes an Executive Director as the chief executive, who remains directly accountable to the Board of Directors.
Bylaw amendments require a majority vote from either the membership or the Board, providing a mechanism for the organization to adapt its governance structure.
The association’s fiscal year is aligned with the calendar year, and formal indemnification provisions are in place to protect directors, officers, and employees from liability incurred in good faith.
