“The FSF is extremely grateful to Mark Mountcastle and Mark Spring for their exceptional guidance and service to the FSF in their roles as chair and deputy chair respectively,” said Executive Director Lyn McMorran.
Mountcastle welcomed the new appointees to the committee including the newly elected chair. “As I hand over the reins to fresh leadership, I am totally confident in the belief that the FSF is in very good heart, with a positive and exciting future to look forward to,” he said.
“We are entering 2024 with record membership numbers as more and more organisations realise the value of connectivity and a collective voice that their association provides.
