Management Board

The INDM is led by a Management Board –consisting of five members, drawn from the IACNDR full-membership. The Board is co-chaired by two of its members.

The main function of the Board is to define and review the Work Program of the Network, its Budget, and Priorities. The Board is also responsible for coordinating efforts on fund raising and outreach, and review membership –including approval and dismissal of members.

Finally, it is the Board’s prerogative to invite institutions and individuals to meetings and/or events of the Network, as they deem appropriate.

One of the co-Chairs is the Head of one of the National Operational Focal Points of the OAS Member States, on the basis of a three-year term. The other co-Chair is the DSD/OAS Chief for NHRR. In order to provide continuity and ensure proper integration of the INDM within the DSD/OAS Program on NHRR, her/is term does not expire. Nevertheless, s/he can delegate her/is responsibility into any other member of the DSD/OAS, including the Director of the DSD/OAS.

All five members of the Management Board represent their institutions. When a member of the Board retires or leaves her/is institution, the Head of the institution becomes the member until she/he appoints a replacement.
