The 2021 FIATA General Meeting was, for the second year, held virtually on 18 November 2021 as the pandemic has continued to constrain face-to-face meetings. Despite this, FIATA, in 2021, delivered to Members through internet connectivity in excess of 120 virtual meetings for operational bodies. The General Meeting, which would normally take place during the FIATA World Congress, was attended by 184 delegates from 76 economies, which was positive proof of FIATA Members’ commitment to FIATA and their mastery of the internet meeting environment, said FIATA President Mr Basil Pietersen.
One of the key highlights of the General Meeting 2021 was the affirmation of delegates into all roles in FIATA which saw many new faces in the 12 elected Vice Presidents of the Extended Board and the respective Chairs of the 13 FIATA Institutes and Bodies. The newly elected delegates are expected to bring a fresh focus and rejuvenation to FIATA, with greater diversity in age and gender, in line with the FIATA Reset Program.
