The Secretariat’s Role
The role of the Secretariat is first and foremost to provide a top quality, professional service to both the Association AND its members. It reports directly to the Executive Committee. The Secretariat provides support to the Advisory Board, CACL, the Budget Committee and the Disciplinary and Disputes Committee as well as to all Groups, Committees and Networks.
Members also receive the same quality support and assistance from the Secretariat, using the communication means at its disposal.
The Secretariat may participate in or coordinate projects implemented by the Association. It provides the requisite administrative, logistical and organisational support for AIIC representatives to achieve the objectives set by the Assembly and Executive Committee.
