Who's who in IFIF

IFIF operates a straight forward structure.
The day-to-day running of the Federation is carried out by Federation staff at its head office in Cheltenham, UK. The office is headed by the Secretary General who is supported by an office manager and other staff. Federation finances is controlled by its Treasurer.

Under its Articles of Association, held in Luxembourg, the Federation is a non-profile organisation and has an Executive President to link its management structure with elected Council and Board members.

The organisation is run by a 12-member Board, made up of elected from a pool of Council Members. Council Members are elected from the general membership at every third Annual Assembly. In addition to the President, the Board may elect up to three vice-Presidents. Office holders may be re-elected.

The IFIF has some 60 members in its three-category membership structure. Anyone operating in or around the feed sector can apply to become a member.

The philosophy of the Federation is to be all-encompassing in representing the feed industry. While its core membership base is national feed associations, and its does everything to strengthen this group of members, the Federation welcomes individual feed companies - particularly nationals and multinational companies - to its ranks. These companies join under the corporate membership category. The third group is feed-related organisations. Many of these groups work in an around the feed sector and have an influence on the production and manufacturer of animal feeds.

IFIF holds its Annual General Meeting usually during a major feed event, where it reviews its activities for the past 12 months, sets targets and plans for the coming year and approves the accounts and budget. Once every three years this assembly elects its office holders. The IFIF President regularly meets with the Secretary General, Treasurer and other elected members to carry out the wishes of the membership. Day-to-day activities are conducted by the IFIF's Secretary General.

Individual members have the opportunity to use IFIF services direct. Members are encouraged to meet at IFIF-sponsored activities to discuss topical issues and put forward policy suggestions for IFIF consideration.
