MIC’s board of directors meets five times per year, with the executive committee meeting alternate months.   MIC has made a special effort to ensure that its board of directors reflects a diversity of cultures. Argentina, France, India, Nepal, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Turkey, as well as Ecuador, Canada and Mexico are represented on this year’s board. Such diversity provides invaluable guidance to all MIC programming and encourages MIC staff and volunteers to model the cross-cultural communication objectives of our programs.
