The FIA Member Clubs, Associations and Federations are represented by their Presidents, who are responsible for defining the goals within their organisations.
They lead their teams, legally and morally, to create and implement the mission and direction within the overall framework of the FIA.
They also have specific responsibilities depending on the needs and circumstances of their particular organisation.
They are active representatives of their Clubs, Associations and Federations at the FIA General Assembly, together with the President of the FIA Drivers’ Commission, in compliance with Article 8.1 of the FIA Statutes.
Presidents can represent three main types of member organisations, in compliance with Article 3 of the FIA Statutes:
• Presidents of National Automobile Clubs or National Automobile Associations (ACNs). They represent the rightful interests of millions of motorists and their safety, by covering road traffic, touring and other mobility-related matters. Their activity embraces the entire national territory. They also exercise the sporting power, sanctioning motor sport events and defending the interests of motor sport licence holders and motor sport enthusiasts.
• Presidents of Mobility Clubs, Associations or Federations. Focusing exclusively on mobility, their activity covers road traffic, touring, camping or other mobility-related services.
• Presidents of Sporting Clubs, Associations or Federations (ASNs). Focusing exclusively on motor sport, they exercise their sporting power nationally and act in accordance with the Statutes and Regulations of the FIA.
Whether Presidents of Sport-Mobility, Mobility or Sport organisations, they all act in the interest of a better and safer motoring world, under the same FIA umbrella.
