Board of Trustees
IWM operates under the guidance of a 15-member Board of Trustees (BoT) that provides strategic and policy guidance for the institute. The Chairperson of the BoT is the Honourable Secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources. This ensures close coordination and collaboration between IWM and the Ministry. To manage the day-to-day operations of IWM, the BoT employs an Executive Director (ED).
The Executive Director is responsible for overseeing and running the institute, ensuring the efficient functioning of all activities. The ED works closely with the Board of Trustees to implement strategic decisions, policies, and plans.
This governance structure ensures the effective management and leadership of IWM, enabling the institute to fulfill its mission and achieve its goals in its field of works. Among the Trustees, most of them are GoB organization heads, which become the strength of IWM to work with the GoB closely.
