IMI Council

The IMI has engaged in significant structural change over recent years culminating in April 2008 with an Extraordinary General Meeting at which the role of the IMI Council was re-defined. 

The IMI Council is comprised of 25 members elected by the corporate and individual members of the Institute.

The Council elects a Chairman from amongst its elected membership and it may co-opt up to 10 additional members.

The Council is the Electoral College for the Board.

Following a ballot held in February 2009 Mr. Barry Dempsey was elected Chairman of the IMI Council.

Managing Director of Peter Mark since 2002, Mr. Dempsey will hold the post of Chairman of the IMI Council for a three-year term and will also serve as a member of the IMI Board.

Acting to the Board, the Council acts in an advisory capacity to the Institute. It identifies the needs of member organizations and liaises with the Academic Council to ensure that programmes aqequately address the needs of stakeholders.

The IMI Council is made up of leaders of indigenous and multinational companies, public sector organisations and enterprise stakeholders. In its capacity as advisory board, the Council acts as an expert network in advancing the practice of management in Ireland.
