Our elected Board members make collective decisions that will affect aimm’s direction. No single Board member can influence the direction of aimm without full Board approval.
The aimm Board also recruits relevant expertise to ensure the full breadth of membership interests are represented fairly. These Board members are called co-opted members and they do not have any voting rights.
Board meetings are held quarterly and concentrate on:
- Strategic direction and decisions
- Giving direction and guidance to the Executives activities
- Policy changes
- Budget approval and financial governance
- Where required, approve membership applications
- Set and monitor aimm’s annual objectives & KPI’s
- Where required adjudicate on members’ conduct and the aimm Code of Ethics when appropriate
