History of ERC

Prior to the International Board Meeting (now Annual International Meeting) in 1999, a number of Committees and Taskforces as well as International Office were trying to develop policies and implement ideas in the areas of:

  • Publications
  • Publicity
  • Fundraising
  • Like Minded Organisations
  • Electronic Communications

At IBM99, the Board directed the International Executive Committee (IEC) to review the options to consolidate these activities and create a more effective and efficient structure.

The IEC felt that all of these areas as well as Marketing had a lot in common even though they all had a slightly different focus.

The decision to form the ERC was endorsed by the Board at AIM 2000 in Austria and Richard Roberts was appointed as Chair with team leaders appointed to cover the five identified functional areas within the committee.

Since then, the ERC has had a strong focus of delivering outcomes in the key areas of Marketing, Fundraising, NGO Relations and Electronic Infrastructure in support of the international Strategic Priorities.
