FINAT At FINAT’s General Assembly, May 31, in Vienna, Austria, the new Board of the European label indus- try association was installed. The election coincides with FINAT’s transition to a new governance struc- ture that aligns with FINAT’s ‘4 Pillar’ strategy. In three steps, the Board of FINAT will be ex- panded from 15 to 25 members to enable a broader representation of the membership across the value chain. Within the Board, the number of Executive Board members has also been increased from six to eight, of which four seats are now reserved for the chairs of the new, workstream based committee structure. Each workstream now reflects one of the four pil- lars of FINAT’s strategy: Community : responsible for all FINAT internal and external communications and platforms, also supporting other workstreams in their communications. Knowledge : responsible for creating and co-ordi- nating knowledge for the FINAT membership so all members get easy answers to their questions. Collaboration : driving FINAT-led projects togeth- er with external parties and internal stakeholders to strengthen the position of the label industry. Advocacy : representing the label industry by mon- itoring and influencing developments in regulations & guidelines impacting the interests of the industry. Each of the four workstreams includes a num- ber of permanent Working Groups to manage the on-going programs, and temporary Taskforces to develop new ones. As of the 1st of June, the Board is composed as follows: Philippe Voet ( Etivoet , Belgium, President) Dana Kilarska ( Purgina Labels , Slovakia, Vice President) Chris Ellison ( OPM Group , United Kingdom, Past President) Noël Kasmi ( Avery Dennison , Netherlands, Trea- surer) Marika Knorr ( CCL Label , Germany, Chair Work- stream Community) Harald Wallner ( Herma , Germany, Chair Work- stream Knowledge) Alex Knott ( Dow , Belgium, Chair Workstream Col- laboration) Päivi Knihti ( UPM Raflatac , Finland, Chair Work- stream Advocacy)
