How we work
Every CiA member company has one vote in the annual CiA General Assembly, regardless of the company size or number of their employees. The CiA General Assembly elects the board of three directors. The Technical Director chairs the CiA Technical Committee, the Business Director chairs the CiA Business Committee, and the CiA Managing Director manages the CiA Headquarters.
The CiA General Assembly votes for the CiA Technical Committee and the CiA Business Committee. The Technical Committee approves and coordinates the CiA Interest Groups and the Business Committee compiles the general marketing guidelines and proposes the annual budget to the CiA General Assembly.
