Organizational structure

FINAT has a unique structure which is in line with the four pillars of the FINAT strategy. FINAT is directed by a tightly-defined structure of Board and workstreams.

The FINAT structure has been regrouped in 2023. The whole organisation is still accountable to its members (via the General Assembly) and led by the Board. The core of the association exists of active members divided in four workstreams, Community, Knowledge, Collaboration, and Advocacy. In each workstream, there are permanent working groups who deal with consistent FINAT activities and temporary taskforces that deal with projects. Below a short overview per workstream.

The active FINAT workstreams (Community, Knowledge, Collaboration, and Advocacy) are looking for candidates with new, fresh ideas, who are able to dedicate a few hours per quarter of their time to the development of new and enhancement of current activities.

This is where the FINAT membership really makes a difference and where you grow your network. All FINAT members are welcome to become more active in one of the workstreams. Contact the FINAT Secretariat via the button below for more information.
