Executive Committee
FDF is structured so that it is focused on delivering results in the areas
that have the biggest impact on our members' businesses.
Executive Committee
The Committee consists of FDF's President, Deputy Presidents and Vice-Presidents
(one of whom will also be the Chairman of the Finance Committee); members of
the
Food Association, the Director General of FDF and any other members that
Council
appoints or co-opts.
The Chairman of the Committee is the FDF President. His alternate will be one of
the other FDF Officers.
The role of the Executive Committee is to:
- recommend policies and action to Council;
- where necessary, e.g. in emergency, take action subject to consultation with and
approval of Council as soon as possible afterwards.
