PARIM is governed by an elected Board, which consists of the Executive Committee, two Directors-at-large, and Program Delegates.
PARIM holds elections three times per year: the President and Treasurer are elected by online ballot in March, the remainder of the Executive Committee as well as the Directors-at-Large are elected by online ballot before the AGM, and the Program Delegates are elected by online ballot in July.
