HIC is a non-hierarchical, open and transparent network
Transparency is a key value for HIC that translates into Annual Reports describing the Coalition’s activities and the use of financial resources; regularly scheduled elections for the Presidency and Board regional representatives for which only HIC Members are eligible; and documents approved by the General Assembly (such as the Constitution and Bylaws) that regulate the functioning of the Coalition.
In this section we include all information relevant to HIC’s principles of transparency.
