Management Boards

The FEMS Standing Orders for Company Administration provide for the establishment of Management Boards, i.e. sub-committees of the Executive Committee. Article 11 of these Standing Orders reads:

The Executive Committee may set up sub-committees, normally known as Boards, to act on its behalf in various areas of FEMS activity. These Boards shall have at least one member of the Executive Committee acting as their Chair and shall normally have at least one delegate representative from a Full Member society serving on the Board and other such persons as the Executive sees fit. The Chair of these Boards can co-opt additional members as required to do business. These Boards shall conduct the business for which they have been established and their powers and the powers of their Chair to enter into contracts and other agreements (e.g. confidentiality agreements) shall be defined by the Executive Committee. Important financial commitments shall only be entered into by these Boards with the agreement of the Executive Committee.
