Executive Board

ITF’s elected board members from around the world.

The ITF Executive Board comprises of members elected by Congress, the General Secretary, the chairs of the industrial sections and the chairs of the women transport workers’ committee and the young transport workers’ committee.

The members from affiliated unions are elected to the Executive Board directly from the regions. 

Six seats are reserved for women on the Executive Board. The Executive Board usually meets twice a year together with its sub-committee the Management Committee, which has special responsibilities for administrative matters.

Please direct any emails to Executive Board members via the Secretariat at mail@itf.org.uk
