The IBC is run by volunteers who devote their time and effort to this hobby. We are organized into three basic groups: the Executive Board with elected officers, the Judging Board who are in charge of betta showing and the Show Standards, and the Committee groups who work on specific topics within the hobby.
For general questions, please email contact@ibcbettas.org. If you’d like to volunteer, email volunteer@ibcbettas.org. For website issues, email website@ibcbettas.org. For other specific needs, please refer to the contact lists below.
