IBBS Country Representatives
IBBS Country Representatives have been appointed to help members and potential members in their geographic areas of responsibility, to promote the work of the Society and to be a contact point. So far, we have appointed 25 Country Representatives, each one covering one country (two in the cases of China and Japan) or region.
If you are interested in being one of our ‘ambassadors’ please contact the IBBS Hon. Secretary by email.
