FIA University - 2013 & 2014 achievements

2014 achievements

The FIA University completed its second year of existence in 2014 with three new full courses delivered and participation in many other FIA events or elsewhere:

• Third Edition of the Emerging Leaders Programme (ELP) in May, with 18 participants adding to a total of 65 students from 41 clubs, 32 countries and the four FIA regions represented in the three editions.
• Latin American Leaders Programme (LALP) Module I in October. This was the first adapted program for a Region (IV), fully delivered in Spanish. 19 delegates from seven Clubs attended, mostly general managers and part of their team, for a course intended to create the urgency of implementing action plans to improve the long term sustainability of their clubs. It was followed by a series of Modules II delivered directly at the clubs, with participants having attended module I and the rest of their managing team.
• ACTA Learnership Programme: support to its organisation by Region I and the AASA, Johannesburg, Nov 2014.

The FIA University was present at the FIA Mobility Conference in Melbourne, at the FIA Mobility Share Fair promoting its activities.

Some 100 people from mobility or motor sport clubs around the world have become FIA University Alumni, and many more have taken part in at least one FIA University activity.
