The ICSH Governance structure is based on a three-year tenure for the elected 15-member representative Council. The Council is comprised of 5 representatives elected from each of Tiers 1, 2 and 3 which, in turn, elects two members from each Tier to form the 6 member ICSH Board. 3 other members are recruited externally to the Board.
The initial Council meeting, which took place on January 24th, elected two members of each Tier to the incoming Board. The Board held its first meeting on Wed. February 7th and elected the following ICSH officers for 2018-2020.
