The inaugural annual GGF Chairpersons’ Forum took place at the London-based AluK, on 4 February, with 31 Members attending to represent the GGF Technical Groups, Committees and Board as well the GGF Regions/Countries.

Mark Austin, GGF President, commented after the meeting: “It was important for the GGF Board collectively to hear first-hand the concerns of the broader membership in one meeting. We will continue to listen and act to improve the GGF for the membership.”

Chairman, Greg O’Donoghue, added: “It was a very successful day and the commitment and passion from GGF Members was clearly in evidence with more than 90% of the GGF’s Chairs in attendance.

“I would like to thank them for making the effort and time to attend this meeting and for their contribution to the discussions. This event can only make the GGF more unified and transparent for Members, regardless of their size, status or location.”

At the Forum, 30 reports were heard, from all different parts of the Federation with the main topics of discussion being; training for the industry, compliance with industry standards, GGF governance and structure as well the Federation’s internal function and how they can work more effectively for the Membership. 

GGFJohn Agnew, incoming GGF MD, commented: “Listening to Members’ issues from all sides of the Federation was both important and very interesting.

“The GGF will now look for viable solutions to help the GGF Member recruitment and retention strategies going forward.”
