IPBA Leadership Activities
| IPBA Membership Committee Chair Tatsu Nakayama represented the IPBA at the AIJA Annual Congress in Rome. While there, he met presented the benefits of joining IPBA to members who must leave AIJA. The IPBA first signed an MOU with AIJA in 2010, with the goal of strengthening our ties and provide an easier avenue for mutual cooperation. We have since signed extensions in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019. |

Several IPBA leaders attended events organized around the IBA Annual Conference in Seoul, including a cocktail event hosted by AIJA, and a get-together for IPBA members and non-members at Yoon & Yang.
