The Indiana Officials Association, Inc. (IOA) is the largest of 25 local officials associations throughout the state of Indiana. We are organized to:

• Assist member officials improve their proficiency and efficiency in the interpretation and application of rules and officiating mechanics.

• Cultivate and improve the relationship between athletic officials and athletic directors, coaches, players, the media, and the public in general.

• Promote and maintain the highest standards of officiating and ethics for all athletic officials.

• Work in cooperation with the IHSAA and other local officials associations in support of high school athletics.

Established in 1926, the IOA is an incorporated 501(c)(6) organization that is governed by an eleven (11) member board of directors which meets monthly. During the annual meeting / banquet held in March, members elect association officers (President, Executive Secretary, and Recording Secretary / Treasurer) for 2-year terms. The Executive Secretary and Recording Secretary / Treasurer receive a stipend for administrative work performed. Seven (7) at-large board members, usually past presidents, are elected on a staggered basis to 3-year terms. The Vice President and President Elect serve in their respective capacities for one year. Many IOA members are invited to volunteer for the association annually to assist with educational meetings, membership, publicity, scholarship, and charity golf tournament.
