Per Wilhelm Pedersen appointed as the new FIG Office
Manager
During the past years the tasks of the FIG Office and the Director have
increased remarkably. In order to solve the problem of the workload and the
related managerial problems the FIG Office will be reshaped to better cope
with the tasks. This will include a division of responsibilities into two
areas of policies/strategies and administration. The new structure implies:
- A special position for the FIG Director to deal solely with the policy
and strategy development for serving the FIG Council and the FIG
government and maintaining and developing the FIG global network including
all the UN agencies and sister organizations etc. The investigation and
the negotiation for locating future conferences also belong to this
position.
- A special position for a new FIG Office Manager responsible of the two
assistants employed. These tasks include the practical preparation and
implementation of the FIG events as well as accounting, management of the
website and administrative membership issues.
The FIG Council approved the new arrangements at its meeting in
Copenhagen 28 January 2006.
