2025-12 – AGM 2024 – Resolution 1 – Merge the FISTF Board roles of Director of Inclusivity and Participation, and the Development Director

Preamble

Proposal: To merge the roles listed in the FISTF Statutes — Director of Inclusivity and Participation, and the Development Director. The new role would be Director of Development and Participation, covering the areas defined by both.

Background:

With the resignation of Bob Varney, I see this as a good chance to streamline the roles and offer the revised position to Andy Fitzpatrick (currently the Director of Inclusivity and Participation).

As the roles are defined in the FISTF Statutes, and the Statutes can only be changed at a Congress, not an AGM, I propose that this change is accepted in good faith until it can be ratified at the next Congress.  Alternatively, if so desired, an Extraordinary Congress can be called to deal with this matter.

(Submitted by S Dettre, President FISTF)

Discussion:

Steve Dettre briefly outlined the proposal, noting the difficulty of getting people to serve on the Board.  As the roles are defined in the FISTF Statutes, and the Statutes can only be changed at a Congress, not an AGM, Steve proposed that this change is accepted in good faith until it can be ratified at the next Congress.
