Strategic planning meeting, Paris 2008
The FGG board of directors is made up of about 20 volunteers, most of whom have had leadership positions within FGG member organizations, host committees, or FGG committees.
The board works on a day-to-day basis using the FGG’s electronic tools (document repository, discussion forums, listservs, electronic voting, etc.), and meets at least once a month via teleconference.
Face-to-face meetings take place just before and just after the Federation’s Annual General Assembly, When possible, a mid-year meeting is held, allowing for the board to develop interpersonal relationships and devote its attentions to particular issues such as strategic planning (Paris 2008, Las Vegas 2013) or outreach to other organizations (The Hague 2009).
