Our Board of Trustees lead the International Quadball Association, and has ultimate authority over the business, policies, affairs, and activities of the IQA.
Trustees have a strong vision and passion to improve the IQA. They serve as a small committee who make governing decisions for the organization, and have a direct impact in shaping the future of the organization and the sport overall.
The Board drives the IQA to advance our mission and vision, and to create a positive impact in our evolving community.

What Trustees Do
The Board of Trustees are volunteers who make strategic decisions about the IQA’s activities and affairs.
This includes:
- leading quadball development around the world
- long-term strategic planning of the sport of quadball
- financial oversight of the IQA
- building an inclusive and welcoming culture among players
Day-to-day operations, such as organizing events, working with NGBs, and developing the rulebook, are managed by our department directors.
Trustees meet every month to review the month’s progress with department directors, and to discuss and vote on any outstanding or upcoming business.
Trustee Powers
The board may exercise all powers granted to the IQA, and perform all lawful acts required by the affairs of the IQA, so long as the exercise of such powers and the doing of such acts are consistent with the IQA’s purposes.
