Many important topics were discussed, and some decisions were made.
Firstly, the presence of three vice-presidents instead of two, in order to better represent the three continents that are part of Felca, Latin America, Asia and Europe.
In addition, was re-established the rule that each nation can be represented by only one national association.
The new Board and all the presidents of the National Associations that are members of Felca will soon start working according to a schedule that includes a Board meeting every month, a vice-presidents’ meeting every three months, and one or two General Assemblies per year, as needed, one of which, as tradition, in presence the day before Alphe UK opens.
Among the objectives of the new presidency and board is primarily Felca’s role as spokesperson for the positions of the agencies of thirteen important markets in our industry.
