ICASO Board
ICASO has a governing board of eleven people. To support global accountability and ensure community leadership of ICASO, five places on the Board are held by one person nominated by each of the five Regional Secretariats of ICASO: AfriCASO, APCASO, AAE, LACCASO and NACASO. In addition, to ensure that ICASO's work responds to the needs of the community sector within an evolving global AIDS response, five places are held by "at-large" members who can bring critical expertise, experience, and leadership. The Executive Director is an ex-officio member of the Board.
