Our governance

Remaining true to the intentions of the credit professionals that established the AICM in 1937, the AICM's governance structures are member-driven and the AICM is a not-for-profit unlisted public company.

This means the AICM is run by members for members.

Only AICM members are eligible to stand for election to division councils at annual division general meetings and members vote on their appointment.

Board roles are filled by a nominee from each of the 5 division councils from which the National President is elected making up the minimum 6 divisional director positions.  Up to 3 co-opted directors can be appointed by the Board.

 


Strategic plan

The Board sets and reviews the 3-year strategic plan with the consultation of division councils, members, and stakeholders.


A new strategic plan has been developed for the 2023 -2026 period. It includes 5 areas of Strategic Priority: 

  1. Develop the complete credit professional
  2.  Build the community of credit professionals 
  3. Improve connection with members 
  4. Facilitate increased connection between members 
  5. Be the voice of the profession 

These priorities support who we are, our purpose, vision and promise:
