Past Presidents

The International Association of Gerontological Societies was founded and registered in Liege Belgium in July 1950, later becoming the International Association of Gerontology (IAG). Through its half-century of existence, successive IAG presidents have worked hard to promote gerontological research in the biological, medical, behavioural, and social policy and practice fields, training of high quality personnel in the field of aging, and the interests of gerontological organizations in international matters.

To date there have been 18 IAG presidents. Currently the President of IAG is Dr. Renato Maia Guimarães of Brazil in the Latin American and Caribbean Region (COMLAT), the second time the Presidency has been held by someone from this region.
