The Advisory Committee is ICOM’s counselling and recommendation body. It shares its observations with the Executive Council.
The Advisory Committee is made up of the Presidents of the ICOM National and International Committees and Affiliated Organisations and its Chaiperson and Vice-Chairperson are elected for three years among its members.
The Advisory Committee meets once a year and discussions and recommendations help to define the upcoming actions of ICOM by communicating its observations to the Executive Council.
In 2010, Knut Wik (Norway) has been re-elected Chairperson of the Advisory Committee and Kwame Sarpong (Ghana) has been elected Vice-Chairperson for the period 2010-2013.
