Executive Committee
The Executive Committee has responsibility for the day-to-day running of ESCP and convenes regularly throughout the year, either face to face or by telephone conference.The President is elected annually, and selected on a rotational basis from each of ESCP’s three geographic regions (eastern, central and western).
