FIT Council

Role of Council

The 17 member Council oversees the running of FIT in between congresses. 14 Council members are elected from nominated individuals at each statutory congress, and 3 are co-opted to ensure geographical representation and skill balance.

Each Council elects office-bearers from among its members, namely the president, treasurer, secretary general, and vice presidents. Council meets once every two or three months, and is responsible for the sound governance and financial management of the Federation. It sets the strategic direction to help the federation achieve its purpose.

Members can serve up to three consecutive mandates (usually three years long) and take part in standing committees and task forces, in line with their particular areas of interest.

Council members commit to abide by the following policies and procedures.
