The IFE is pleased to announce the newly elected Board of Trustee Directors, as elected by the membership.
As announced during last week’s AGM, we are firstly delighted to welcome Angela Fearnley to the Board.
Angela is an accomplished fire engineer with nearly a decade of experience, spanning sectors including airports, industrial facilities, and correctional institutions. She is a prominent figure within the IFE throughout Australasia having served on the IFE New Zealand branch board prior to her current role as the Vice President of the IFE Australia branch.
Angela is dedicated to promoting knowledge-sharing, professional development, and collaboration across the global fire safety community. Through her work with the IFE, she continues to inspire and mentor the next generation of fire engineers, helping to shape the future of the profession.
We are also pleased to confirm that Hayley Burgess has been re-elected as a Trustee Director. Hayley starts a new tenure on the Board following a year as International President, during which she played an integral role representing the institution globally and working on IFE’s initiatives to support women in fire engineering. She is an avid supporter of the IFE and is heavily involved in driving forward the work of our Northern Ireland branch. We are delighted that Hayley remains on the Board of Trustee Directors for another term.
Shaping the future
The year ahead will see the IFE implement its new strategy and progess key projects following the release of the Grenfell Tower phase 2 report, as well as the institution’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI) work. At such a critical period of change within the sector, the Board plays a vital role in this work as well as steering the IFE’s objective to expand, influence and shape the future of the fire sector.
Please join us in congratulating Angela and Hayley on their recent election.
