Board members
AIDA is an organization of freedivers comprised of an international assembly who votes by the democratic process. Each national member has one vote. The Assembly elects an executive Board to manage the daily operations of the organization. The non-executive positions are non voting members, appointed by the executive Board. The majority of the work accomplished by AIDA is done so by the Board with support from committee volunteers. The list of Committees are created in accordance with organizational needs and today it includes: the Disciplinary committee, the Education committee, the Technical committee, the Medical committee, the Safety committee and the Jury control committee. All members are encouraged to volunteer to participate as a committee member.
