Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, and the Executive Committee within, is elected at the Congress. Consisting of the ICF President, Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, and the Treasurer, the ICF’s Executive Committee meets every 3 months and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the association. The members establish the policy and procedures to ensure the efficient management and continued development of the ICF and its activities, and the Executive Committee reports to the Board.

The Board’s primary role is to oversee the management and ensure that the organisation’s affairs are being conducted in a way that achieves the organisation’s objectives. This entails, among other things, strategic planning, risk management and communication with all stakeholders.

Generally, the Board is responsible for governance, while the Executive Committee contribute to the management.

The Congress is the supreme authority of the ICF, it consists of delegates of National Federations and all its decisions are final. An ordinary Congress takes place every even year and is responsible for electing each member of the Board.
