What are Intercountry Committees ?
The sections within a pair maintain close communication, exchange information about Rotary events, and share regional publications. They work together and leverage their bilateral network of Rotarians to help clubs implement humanitarian projects. The success of the France-Germany ICC inspired similar committees worldwide. ICCs expanded Rotary's reach, particularly in Eastern and Central Europe after the fall of communism, helping to reintroduce Rotary to several Eastern European countries.
ICC Leadership
The leadership of ICCs operates on two levels: individual ICC sections function autonomously, with their own leadership structures, and are responsible for coordinating activities within their respective countries.
