Frances has substantial experience as an advocate for women’s rights and especially their right to sexual and reproductive health. She has a strong track record growing successful and effective organisations and championing healthy and inclusive cultures. Together with a broad network of volunteers, Frances will lead FIGO to deliver on its ten-year strategy through four key pillars: education, research implementation, advocacy, and capacity building.

We are pleased to announce the incoming committee vice chairs. They will serve as vice chairs for the remainder of the 2021–2023 term before assuming their role as chairs in October 2023. Selected by the current chairs, President Jeanne Conry, and President Elect, Dr Anne-Beatrice Kihara, based on their incredible achievements and engagement within FIGO, they will continue to shape the work carried out by committees, and advance FIGO’s mission in line with the decade-long 2021-2030 Strategic Plan. Congratulations to the new vice chairs in FIGO committees.
