Board of Directors

The ICRG is overseen by a Board of Directors that provides oversight to assure the financial well being of the organization. Further, board members serve as Ambassadors for ICRG, tomake sure others are aware of our mission and the importance of the work that we do. Board members assist in securing financial support for the ICRG both directly and indirectly to assure that new research can be initiated annually.
