The IDA Election: What's it all about?

The Board of Representatives is IDA's parliament

You can compare the Board of Representatives to the Danish Parliament (Folketing). It is composed of a number of electoral lists (parties), each with their own key issues.

The 65 elected members of the Board of Representatives elect the President of IDA and appoints IDA’s Executive Committee, which is responsible for managing IDA. Together, they lay down the strategy for IDA as:

A trade union working for a good framework for members' lives
A professional community seeking to inspire and develop members
An interest group being part of creating a better future
