Commissions and Task Groups

fib has three tiers to its structure. There are ten 'Commissions' at the top level. Each Commission creates 'Task Groups' to deal with specific issues as they develop due to the concrete industries progress. These Task groups can create 'Working Parties' to consider specific aspects. The outcome from Commission and Task Groups are fib Bulletins. These are the reports that detail the finding and recommendations. The Australian members on these Commissions and Task Groups can provide greater insight into international direction and experts in various aspects of concrete. The current Commissions, task groups and working parties are listed below.
