Council

A message from the President
The ICDA Council plays a pivotal role in the life of the Association. Council members are volunteers from member companies, who are elected by the ICDA ordinary members for a two-year mandate. Any ordinary or associate member is eligible to stand for election.
The Association’s objective is to ensure that the composition of the Council is as representative as possible of the membership in terms of sectors and geographical regions. As a democratic institution, the Council ensures that no geographical or industry group exerts undue dominance.
The Council determines the ICDA strategy in terms of services to members and responses to adopt when facing issues of common interest. The Council also oversees the conduct of ICDA business in accordance with relevant laws, and is responsible for reporting to members on the Association’s achievements.
As ICDA President, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of governance for the ICDA, Council, and committee activities. We are guided by principles of integrity to ensure the sustainable development of the association and the chromium industry.
