ICC Leadership

Our mission ICC Leadership The leadership of ICCs operates on two levels: individual ICC sections function autonomously, with their own leadership structures, and are responsible for coordinating activities within their respective countries. At the global level, the ICC Executive Committee provides guidance and support to the network of ICCs. This committee is tasked with promoting the development of new ICCs, collecting and sharing best practices, and maintaining a directory of active committees.
