FIG Engagement Committee

The Engagement Committee (EC) was established in 2021 for a trial period of time until 2025 with the tasks 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.

FIG Council decided in 2025 to prolong this trial period to include the upcoming elections in 2026.

It is important to note that the Engagement Committee is not a nomination committee and they do not do any vetting. Their main purpose is to encourage potential candidates and their national member associations and are available for questions and queries. Each member of the committe has long experience with various positions in FIG.

FIG Member Associations and intested potential candidates are welcome to contact one or more of the committee members, or to contact FIG Director Louise Friis-Hansen.
