ICPI and NCMA Boards Approve Exploration of Additional Collaboration and Possible Unification into a New Organization
At the ICPI Annual Meeting Board of Directors meeting last week, Charles McGrath, ICPI’s Executive Director announced his planned retirement in August 2022. The ICPI Board of Directors voted to create a joint special committee and hire an outside consultant to pursue a closer relationship with NCMA, including the possibility of unification. The Special Committee will be charged to come back to the ICPI Board of Directors meeting in February 2021 whether to move forward with unification or for ICPI to engage a search consultant to begin a search for a new Executive Director. Special Committee members will provide an update on progress at the 2020 ICPI Summer Meeting in Annapolis, MD.
The Board agreed to pass on the following messages to all members:
Initial exploratory efforts only
No decisions made and no foregone conclusions
Typical unifications (once agreed) take approximately 2 years.
Dues structure and impacts not yet considered
No current staffing changes under consideration
