The IKCC Board of Directors is a volunteer-based working Board that brings together people with a variety of experiences, perspectives and skills. This diversity ensures a collective experience and management expertise needed for the leadership, sustainability and ongoing growth of the global organisation. The Board sets the organisational strategic direction towards the vision of reducing the global burden of kidney cancer for patients.
According to the IKCC Deed and Regulations the Board is made up of five to ten Directors, and must include a minimum of two Directors from Partner Organisations to provide input from patient organisations and personal experience with kidney cancer, up to two Directors from the IKCC Medical Advisory Board and specific Office Bearers, Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary-Treasurer.
