New governance structure for ICOS

A NEW governance structure for the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society, the co-ops’ national umbrella body, is being implemented and new committee members have been appointed.

ICOS president Padraig Gibbons said the change was made to ensure that the society’s governance structure takes account of the changing business environment facing all co-operatives.

The new structure is in line with the more streamlined governance structure ICOS has been advocating for its own member co-ops, he said.
