ICHS International Council

The Council meets every monthly by teleconference, at the Biennial Symposium and at meetings where a quorum of the Council are present. Ad hoc meetings may be called as needed.

Council Member elections take place prior to each Biennial Symposium, and each council member is selected by majority vote of the ICHS General Membership. Nominations are submitted by active ICHS members and are reviewed by the ICHS nominations committee before being submitted to the election process. Members of the International Council are determined by a majority vote of the active ICHS Membership.
