FIS Board
FIS is governed by an elected Board of Directors which sets its policy and direction. Elections are held annually when nominations are invited from the membership.
The role of the FIS Board is to set the strategic direction of the organisation and ensure delivery of agreed targets. By joining the board you have the chance to use your knowledge and experience in the finishes and interiors sector to influence the direction of the Association and support our mission to improve safety and quality, minimise risk, enhance productivity and drive innovation in the sector, ultimately ensuring that membership and guidance are reflected in all relevant specifications.
Elections are open and contested and we are currently open for applications. If you would like to stand for election please complete the nomination form – Board members are appointed for two years and then required to re-stand. Nominations must be received by 30 September 2020 and our new Board will be annouced at the 2020 AGM in November.
