CC Election 2017
The CC is a vital part of our democratic structure. It comprises a body of 30 people - large enough to be a representative cross section of the membership. The primary role of the CC is to act as a sounding board; it acts as a conduit to and from members. It is also responsible for electing IPSE’s Board of Directors. Take part in this year’s Consultative Council (CC) Elections.
