Representation and Involvement with Other Organisations
IMCA regularly liaises with a variety of regulatory and industry bodies at global, regional and national levels, with formal representation on a number of committees. Through this involvement, IMCA can represent and lobby on behalf of members on matters likely to affect them.
By working with other bodies, duplication of effort can be avoided and common solutions found to issues affecting the wider industry. Such involvement also raises the Association's profile and gives a platform to communicate its messages.
