Organisation and Projects
The Board of Directors will develop by-laws, policies, and procedures, all based on the ITF constitution. The ITF will then use these tools to provide management that is consistent and transparent. Objectives, action plans, and priorities will be set only after wide-ranging consultation with you and, through you,with our members. The emphasis will be on structured planning, with short-, medium-, and long-term objectives. We also intend to implement a structured and transparent financial management system, starting with the budget for 2004.
The Board of Directors will decide all important issues as a team. Each member of the Board will be expected to be an active contributor to the success of the organisation. Chairpersons of the Standing Committees will be selected by the Board, based on their experience and abilities; they will be given specific responsibilities as well as the resources necessary to realize their mandates.
The ITF will ensure that the constitution and the by-laws, as well as policies and procedures, are respected. It will delegate the realisation and coordination of activities to the Continental Federations. The ITF and the Continental Federations will assist each National Association to develop a more efficient structure and organize activities. The role of the National Governing Bodies will be clearly defined. For more stability, the ITF representative in each country will be a structured organisation, rather than one individual. Frequent visits from ITF and your Continental Federation will support you in your development efforts.
Grand Masters, Masters, and International Instructors will be invited to participate in an Annual Technical Conference where they will be able to train togeher, express freely their concerns, and make suggestions.
Up-to-date technology will be used to facilitate communications with members. The ITF Web site will be updated. We will work for increased visibility for ITF Taekwon-Do in the world of martial arts and with the general public.
Strategic Development Programme
Our goal is to make ITF Taekwon-Do known around the globe by helping your organisations to progress in the countries you represent and by expanding to more countries, tailoring our approach to the local circumstances. We will look for partnerships with various educational, community, and military organisations in order to expand the teaching of ITF Taekwon-Do. Strategic partnerships with private companies could be a source of increased revenues, allowing us to realize our projects.
