Make IMBA great again The IMBA Congress took place in Mol/B at the weekend. It was already known in advance that Chairman Benoit Malta would be stepping down. However, the fact that Toni Luysberg, Sports Director, would also not be standing for election was a surprise, despite his advanced age. So it was very touching when the two were bid farewell. Now, what happens next? Ben Jeuring took over the position of chairman on the board - at least for a year until someone new is found. The new Sports Director is Michael Fröhlich, known to many from Kleinhau and the sidecar scene, who is also responsible as Sports Director in the DAMCV.
