The members of the Board come from many different backgrounds and include many influential names in the industry. This diverse group controls the biggest decisions of the IAQF and helps ensure that the organization is fulfilling its mission towards the growth of financial engineering. Committees The IAQF comprises six committees: the Credit Risk, Education, Investor Risk, Liquidity Risk, Operational Risk, and Technology Committees each focus on a narrow view of financial engineering. Doing so enables the IAQF to stay up-to-date on advancements from all over the industry as well as organize well-developed, specific topics at each of their events, which are typically presented by one of the committees.
