ExCo unmasked

One of my hopes is to demystify the workings of the IFCN and of its Executive Committee (ExCo) for our membership and become more accountable. My own first meeting of ExCo was a two-day meeting, in Florence, to determine our strategic goals for the coming four years. I watched the big beasts of ExCo debating matters I knew little about, trying to contribute where I could, without appearing too great a fool. After that, emails would flow between ExCo, but the main meetings were face-to-face twice a year, at chapter or other congresses. That way it could have a full day’s business meeting, but it also enabled its members to lecture at the congress.
