Alain Maingreaud, TFWA president, said: “I would like to offer my personal congratulations to those colleagues that have been elected to the board and give an especially warm welcome to our new members Gemma Bateson and Aude Bourdier.
“Their expertise is an invaluable asset to TFWA and will prove vital in helping us overcome the unprecedented challenges our association and the industry at large are currently facing.
“I would also like to thank Nadia Skouri and Patrick Bouchard for their commitment and hard work as members of the board over the last few years.”
TFWA will invite its management committee to elect its president in December. The president will hold a one-year mandate until December 2021.
