Michael Stone to Leave the FEI

The FEI has announced the departure of its Secretary General, Mr Michael Stone. Today Mr Stone tendered his resignation to the President, and the First and Second Vice Presidents in Lausanne. This was accepted, and has been approved by the Bureau. Mr. Stone has worked for the FEI for ten years in various positions, culminating in his appointment in August 2006 as Secretary General, the chief executive of the organisation.

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