ICA's Policy Development Process

ICA is a grassroots policy organization, meaning policy is developed by members for members. Policy, through written directives or resolutions, provides input to staff and leadership when working on regulatory topics. Policies are ratified by the general membership at the annual meeting.

Policy Handbook

ICA's full list of policies are published annual in the ICA Policy Handbook. Contact ICA's Director of Government Relations, Cora Fox, with questions.
