Welcome by the FEI President and the FEI Secretary General |
|
Dear Board Members, National Federation delegates and guests,
On behalf of the FEI, we are delighted to share with you the Official Invitation and Programme for the FEI Hybrid General Assembly 2022 which will take place in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa.
Last year, we hosted the first ever hybrid edition of the General Assembly. While it provided an opportunity for most of us to meet once again in-person, those unable to attend due to pandemic restrictions were also able to participate online in this important event. The 2022 edition will once again function in a hybrid format to best accommodate all participants.
The General Assembly is a great opportunity to evaluate where we stand globally as a sport, while allowing us to look ahead and create our roadmap for the future together. With six disciplines and 137 National Member Federations, we are a diverse community and it is crucial we have a solid platform to discuss and decide on matters at the heart of our sport.
The Paris 2024 Olympic Qualification System for Jumping, Dressage and Eventing will be a key part of our discussions in South Africa this year. And we will also receive the first report from the Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission. This important Commission was launched in June 2022 in response to growing public concern about the use of horses in sport, and in particular, to investigate ways of developing a practical framework that will strengthen the practice of horse sports worldwide.
The annexes for the General Assembly as well as agendas, presentations and other relevant documentation are publicly available, in line with the transparency principle defined by the Association of Sports Olympic International Federation (ASOIF).
By navigating through the different tabs provided on this hub, you will have access to all logistical information for the General Assembly. The General Assembly will be livestreamed and available on Replay, and these links can also be accessed here.
Please keep in mind that all National Federations, whether attending in-person or virtually, are required to register for the General Assembly so that they can exercise their statutory rights (voting) and take part in discussions. As the General Assembly is held virtually, no proxies are allowed. It will be a busy week and at the end of all the meetings, we will bring the General Assembly to a close with the traditional celebration of our heroes at the FEI Awards Gala presented by Longines in yet another stunning location.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our South African hosts, in particular President Ian Sanne and Secretary General Sharlene Venter. We are looking forward to yet another productive FEI General Assembly and a fabulous FEI Awards Gala 2022 in South Africa.
Should you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact the team here at FEI Headquarters.
