We are proud and grateful for the contributions to IMI made by Mr James MacPherson and Mr Patrick Deane (a former Chair of IMI). The IMI Board of Directors and staff thank them for their outstanding service and contributions to the Mission of IMI and are hopeful that they will continue to work with us on the many initiatives that IMI has underway.

The addition to the Board of Messrs. Aina, Dahlan and Mackie demonstrates IMI’s principle of inclusion and broadens the depth and breadth of the Board of Directors. Their background and expertise strengthens IMI’s efforts to collaborate across continents and, in conjunction with our current Board members, expand our impact globally.
