About CIM: Meetings

The CIM Executive Committee is a smaller body, made up of nine OAS member states that are elected during the Assembly of Delegates for a period of two years. The Committee meets on a more regular basis (at least once a year) in order to address routine matters, as well as questions of immediate concern, related to the implementation of the Commission's Biennial Program of Work.
