The PRIME Board was created following a strategic review undertaken in 2015 by Hensey Consulting to meet growing international demand and bring a range of expertise to our services.
The Board acts as the executive branch of the General Assembly to improve and fulfil PRIME policies and services and acts as advisor to the GA presenting proposals for approval on governance matters.
The General Assembly elects seven PRIME Board representatives, all of whom are full members (members paying the yearly contribution fee) who serve for a maximum of 2 years (one year for both the Chair and Vice Chairs) and can be reelected for an additional mandate. In addition to the Board, 4 Committees have been created and there is a direct link from the Board to the different PRIME Committees.
