Nominee’s statement My motivation to be FIG Vice President:

FIG is the only organization that comprehensively represents surveying as a profession internationally. I want to play an active role in ensuring that the future of surveying is one that encompasses the true diversity, broad ranging skills and global capacity of surveyors worldwide. I also want to ensure that the youth voice is maintained within the FIG leadership, and to demonstrate the capacity of young professionals to step up and take on increasing responsibility within the FIG leadership. My first encounter with FIG was the Congress held in Munich in 2006. I have been active in the FIG since attending the very first day of that conference. For me, the role of FIG Vice President is the next step – and one that will cement my ongoing contribution to the international profession.

What I can offer in support of FIG’s aims and objectives:

My vision for the FIG is that it - Remains the leading professional body for national

surveying organizations - Continues to drive international surveying policy - Strengthens linkages with other international surveying and

affiliated organizations - Continues to drive and publish world leading research - Continues to support and foster industry and corporate

members - Continues to promote the image of surveying internationally As a young surveyor who has been active in the FIG community for the last eight years, I can offer: - Fresh ideas and new innovations to ensure FIG and the

surveying profession remain relevant - The ideas and passion to forge new partnerships and

redefine the centrality of the surveying profession - Experience in web and social media critical to the revamping

of the FIG website. - A strong understanding of the role and functions of the FIG

Office, Board and Foundation critical to the organization of events, and developing new efficiencies and ways of working

- Experience in project management, monitoring and evaluation essential to assessing our performance.

- Broad exposure across the surveying disciplines, in industry and academia, across developed and developing countries and strong connections and experience with UN agencies.

Mr CheeHai Teo President International Federation of Surveyors Address Dear Mr Teo, SSSI fully supports the nomination of Ms Kate Fairlie as Vice President of FIG. Ms Fairlie has taken a

keen interest in FIG affairs since her graduation from the University of NSW in 2008. Her experience

in FIG has been as Regional Coordinator for FIG Young Surveyors Working Group from 2007 – 2010,

Young Ambassador 2008 – 2010 and at the FIG Congress, Sydney 2010, and Chair, FIG Young

Surveyors Network since 2011. In addition, she has been a Youth and Land Research Consultant of

UN-HABITAT since 2013. Her application demonstrates that she is strongly motivated to play a

significant role in FIG, particularly to see that young surveyors have a strong voice in FIG affairs.

She is an enthusiastic worker for the FIG community and I believe she will make an important

contribution to the decision making processes of FIG. Therefore SSSI strongly recommends her for

the position of Vice President of FIG.

Yours sincerely,

John Trinder

President
