IMA-Europe General Assembly and Board

Sections are represented and collaborate within the IMA-Europe General Assembly and Board, which determine and prioritize common areas of work. Each section is entitled to two seats on the IMA-Europe Board of Directors, i.e.: one for the Section President, who is statutory Vice-President and Board Member; and one for the Section's 2^nd representative.

IMA-North America has a permanent, non- nominative seat with no voting rights on the IMA-Europe Board of Directors. The IMA-Europe Technical Board Chairman has an advisory seat with no voting rights on the IMA-Europe Board of Directors. The past IMA-Europe President has a one-year advisory seat with no specific title and no voting right on the IMA-Europe Board.

IMCEC

The Industrial Minerals Chief executive Council (IMCEC) is open to the CEOs of IMA Member companies. The IMCEC sets long-term priorities and strategies to ensure a broad representation of European Industrial Minerals to the Institutions, the public and other industries.

Although each section has its own organization and specific concerns, horizontal issues are dealt with by the Technical Board, within working groups established under three different pools:

• Industrial Affairs
• Environment
• Product Stewardship
