Florence Bindelle, executive manager of the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA), has been elected to the board of the European Society of Association Executives (ESAE). ESAE aims to support association managers and increase recognition of the profession, similar to FERMA's goals for risk managers. Bindelle said joining the board will benefit FERMA and the industry sector. The newly elected ESAE President wants to reposition the organization as a knowledge-sharing platform and work closely with other groups on a future European Association Summit.
