Want to know more about the ICA Governance Meetings?
ICA governance is in the hands of two main bodies: the General Assembly (GA) is the highest decision-making body in the ICA, which decides on the long-term strategic direction for the organisation as well as oversees its management. In between GAs, responsibility for managing ICA’s operations lies with the Executive Board (EB), which implements the GA decisions and, if necessary, proposes adjustments to the strategic direction.
In regard to ICA’s technical and professional programme, it is the Programme Commission (PCOM) which is the body in charge of overseeing and supporting the organisation’s professional activities, including the workplans of ICA Expert Groups (such as the development of tools and standards, management of projects, etc.) and the programme for the ICA Conferences and Congresses.
These two ICA governing committees usually meet twice a year: one session in the first semester of the year, usually taking place in April/May, and a second session which takes place either before the ICA Conference or Congress or in October/November of the given year.
