The IVSA Board of Directors

The IVSA Board is comprised of representation from BC and Alberta.

The IVSA is responsible for bringing forward the issues of the industry as determined by the Board of Directors, who liaise with Industry groups, Provincial Government leaders, Liquor Boards, Liquor Licensing and the industry membership. 

The office is staffed by our Executive Assistant, who manages day to day affairs of the IVSA.  You can write to us:  admin@ivsa.ca.  The administration team is responsible for arranging the popular Trade-Only "IVSA New Product Salons" in Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler, Calgary, and Edmonton.
