The Board

What and who is the ECEIM Executive Board?

The people in the Executive Board are called “officers” of the ECEIM and are elected by secret ballot by all Diplomates during the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The ECEIM Board consists of five ECEIM Diplomates and the immediate Past-President. An officer is elected for a term of three years. As all officers of the College and members of the committees, they serve the College on an honorary basis and receive no payment, except reimbursement of their expenses. The Board holds monthly 1-2 hour online meetings, with two all-day meetings (online or in-person) typically occurring in the spring and again in the autumn, before the AGM which is associated with the annual ECEIM congress. At the two larger meetings, committee chairs and resident representatives are invited to present a summary of activities and any issues to be addressed. In addition to the meetings, the officers of the Board have regular discussions of issues year-round by phone and email.

The Board is the executive group of the College. It considers all the business and policies pertaining to the affairs of the College. The Board is responsible for generating strategic plans and for overseeing the operational delivery of these plans by the various standing committees of the College. It creates committees, appoints committee members, selects the time and place of membership meetings, and determines all College fees (membership application,  examinations, registrations etc…). The Board directs the management of funds held by the College and is responsible for receiving and responding to any query raised by an available ECEIM Diplomate and/or resident.
