Engagement Committee
Are you in doubt? Whether you are a potential candidate or a
potential nominating association you can get help.
The Engagement Committee (EC) was established in 2021 for a trial
period of time until 2025 with the tasks to:
- foster and encourage individuals’ engagement to stand for senior
officer levels in FIG, above all to be an open process to encourage
people to come forward.
- work closely with Council; yet maintain independence
- ensure that people are not discouraged or hesitating to contact
and, or to have any fear about coming forward.
It is important to note that the Engagement Committee is not a
nomination committee and they do not do any vetting. Their main purpose
is to encourage potential candidates and their national member
associations and are available for questions and queries. Each member of
the committe has long experience with various positions in FIG.
