FEI Secretary General Michael Stone Resigns

The FEI has announced the departure of its secretary general, Michael Stone. On August 24, Stone tendered his resignation to the president, and the first and second vice presidents in Lausanne, Switzerland. This was accepted, and has been approved by the Bureau. Stone has worked for the FEI for 10 years in various positions, culminating in his appointment in August 2006 as secretary general, the chief executive of the organization.

The FEI and Stone accept that the resignation has come about through irreconcilable differences in the implementation of the future direction of the organization. The FEI Executive Board said, “We recognize the important role that Mr. Stone has played in the organization, and he goes with the best wishes of all with whom he has worked.”
