Engagement Committee
FIG General Assembly 2021 adopted the proposal from FIG Council based on
a suggestion from the Task Force on FIG Governance to install an
Engagement Committee on a
trial basis until 2025.
The committee will
assist in promoting the search for the next President and two Vice
Presidents (to be elected in 2022) and to help search for new Commission
Chairs for the following term (2027-2030) that should be elected in 2024
or 2025.
The aim of the engagement committee is to:
- ensure an ongoing influx of volunteers for the official posts in
FIG
- address the search for potential senior candidates in a
proactive way
- promote diversity and inclusion in all aspects e.g., region,
gender equality, age
More specific, the tasks of the committee members is 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 does not make any valuation or selection of interested
candidates, the aim of the committee is purely to create interest and to
motivate members and individuals to step forward and to provide
information about the posts.
If you have an interest in running for a position you are welcome to
contact one or more of the members of the committee to get further
information. You are also always
welcome to contact Louise Friis-Hansen at the FIG Office.
