Organisation structure

We are a non-profit organisation. All our board members work for free, carving out time from high-profile day jobs to serve an industry they love, value and desire to protect.

FRAPA’s organisation consists of a management board and a steering committee which, together, form the general board. The management board conducts FRAPA’s day-to-day business, sets and controls its budget and offers consultancy and advice to members. The general board is responsible for creating policy, as well as supervising, advising and supporting the management board.

 

The general board is also responsible for nominating FRAPA ambassadors. These are outstanding format professionals who have given a minimum of five years to FRAPA, contributing their time and knowledge to the greater good not only of the association and its members, but to the entire formats industry. FRAPA ambassadors can only be appointed by the unanimous decision of the general board.
