FIA board directors announced
Recent board elections saw Robin Johnson of Total Fitness and Tony Majakas of Technogym re-elected to the board of the Fitness Industry Association (FIA). Marc Moreso, of Sportsweb Recruitment, has also joined the board as a training and recruitment advisor.
The FIA board of directors is elected by, and accountable to, the FIA membership. The board is non-executive, so does not have day-to-day functions within the association, but rather looks at strategic issues within the industry, acting in the interest of members and the industry as a whole. It is responsible for the overall direction and policies of the FIA, as well as monitoring and evaluating performance.
Meetings are held quarterly, culminating in an annual general meeting (AGM), to which all FIA members are invited. Fred Turok, founder and now chair of LA Fitness, is the current FIA chair.
Each newly-elected director commits to a three-year tenure. The election process starts every September, with results announced at the AGM in December. Board members retiring from office will have completed their three-year term.
The breadth of FIA membership is represented on the organisation’s board, with ambassadors from multi-site and independent operators, education, local authorities, leisure trusts and suppliers.
