Our People

ICA:UK is governed by a Board of Trustees elected from among the membership at the Annual General Meeting.

Our network of Associates, who include our Lead Trainers, are the main implementers of our work. Mostly independent professionals, they deliver our training courses and undertake other tasks and activities which contribute towards our Mission.

Board and Associates are all members of ICA:UK and together form a Core Group of people who, in addition to their existing roles, serve to identify and explore new initiatives and ideas, provide guidance on future direction and represent the key elements of the ICA community.

Friends of ICA:UK is for those less involved on a regular basis, but who are supportive of our mission and values, and who want to be kept informed of our work.
