National Committees - Organisation of a National Committee

Organisation of a National Committee

Each National Committee must agree to accept the Statutes of ICOMOS. Its own statutes should conform with national requirements and practices, as well as with the ICOMOS Statutes.

Presidents of ICOMOS National Committees are elected or appointed from among their members. The President is responsible for calling at least one meeting of the National Committee each year. Other officers elected by the Committee may assist the President. Committees are urged to have a Secretary or a Secretary-Treasurer. Unless the President requests otherwise, all communications from the ICOMOS International Secretariat are addressed to him. Presidents of National Committees are automatically members of the ICOMOS Advisory Committee and are expected to attend and to take part in its annual meeting (or to send a member of heir National Committee in their place).

National Committee statutes must be submitted to the ICOMOS Board for ratification.
