Initially created as a standard subcommittee of the Human Rights Commission and chaired by one individual, the IAC was restructured in 2015 to allow the immigrant and refugee community to elect a leadership team of five members, including a chair, two vice chairs, a secretary, and one executive member.

The fifth biennial election was held April 22, 2023, at the Greensboro Coliseum Terrace. More than 450 City residents elected the following slate of officers to a two-year term:

• Chair - Kabinga Kibebe (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
• Vice Chair (2 positions) - Yayra Adjrah (Togo), Fanta Dorley (USA/Liberia)
• Secretary: Nghieng Nay (Vietnam)
• Executive Member: Sahar Rahimi (Afghanistan)
