Jorge Viegas Puts Hat in the Ring for FIM Presidency

FIM vice president Jorge Viegas has revealed his candidacy to become FIM president. 

The former Estoril CEO revealed his candidacy in a letter to the national federations affilliated to FIM.

He said: “For a stronger FIM, rx the National Federations must have a stronger role!”

“This will be the central message of my candidature to the Presidency of the FIM.

“As you know, I have been Deputy-President for the past four years, working at the same time as chairman of the Finances and the Affiliation Committees, participating also in the Strategic Plan and in the Human Resources Committees.

“I am announcing now that I will be a candidate for President because I prefer to be clear in my intentions and avoid all misunderstandings. With your support I want to be the next F.I.M. President because I know I am prepared and I can do a good job in bringing back the F.I.M. to the level it deserves, with the effective contribution of all of the “family” – Continental Unions, National Federations, Commissions members and Administration.”

Viegas will take on Vito Ippolito, who has held the position since 2006, for the role.
