The success of any organization depends on its members. This is true for IVN as well. Therefore the membership assembly stands above all committees as the primary decision making body. A regular membership assembly is summoned once a year. The fact that these membership assemblies are organized in conjunction with both social and information programs as well as coordinated with professional conferences is surely one reason why so many members participate.
