The International Committee collects and disseminates information on housing and community development in foreign countries. The committee identifies innovative programs, development techniques, and management systems that may be usable in the United States. The committee also shares information on American programs with its foreign counterparts. The committee encourages local housing and community development personnel to participate in international meetings, including official delegations organized by federal agencies, and it arranges informational exchanges with professionals in other countries. After receiving recommendations from regional presidents on appointments to the International Committee, the national president appoints members to the committee for two-year terms.
