Executive Board

The day-to-day running of the World Federation is the responsibility of the volunteer Executive Board (ExBo), elected by the delegates of our member associations for a two-year term at each Convention. All elected Board members are actively practising tourist guides — not tour operators or tourist guide employers. The Vice President and Secretary are appointed by the new Board from among its portfolio holders, and the Board may co-opt additional members for special tasks.

Thinking of standing for election? Members can find the detailed role descriptions in the Internal area or request them via info@wftga.org.
