The Bureau is FICPI’s executive leadership team

The Bureau is headed by the President and supported by the Vice President, Secretary General, Treasurer General, and one or more Deputy Secretaries General.

All positions are honorary and elected every three years by the Executive Committee (EXCO).

The Bureau assumes responsibility for the day-to-day management of FICPI, ensuring the smooth running of the organisation between EXCO meetings. While formal meetings are held monthly—typically via videoconference—the Bureau’s work is continuous and hands-on.

Its activities are regularly reviewed and approved by EXCO, maintaining transparency and alignment with the organisation’s strategic direction.
