FSI Councils

FSI has several advisory councils that provide advice and input to FSI’s staff and Board of Directors. These councils meet in-person and by conference call. The councils are:

Council leadership is made up of a Chair, Vice Chair, Immediate Past Chair, and Secretary:

A new Secretary is chosen each year and they are responsible for working with the Chair and Vice Chair to create meeting agendas and also for recording notes to distribute to the group. The Secretary moves into the Vice Chair role when their one-year term is complete.

The Vice Chair is responsible for creating agendas for Discussion meetings at FSI events and for moderating those sessions. The Vice Chair moves into the Chair role when their one-year term is complete.

The Chair is responsible for scheduling council meetings, ensuring all agendas are completed and distributed, and facilitating each meeting. The Chair moves into the Immediate Past Chair role when their one-year term is complete and serves in an advisory capacity to the next leadership group.
