First Maltese engineer elected to FEANI executive board

Engineer Michelle Cortis has been elected to the Executive Board of European Federation for National Engineering Associations (FEANI) as a member from the Southern Region.

Cortis was elected with an overwhelming majority of 85% of eligible votes at the FEANI General Assembly.

Cortis is the First Maltese Inġinier to be elected to the FEANI Executive Board, on which she will serve for three years.

Malta has been actively represented on FEANI through the Chamber of Engineers (CoE) since 1981 yet it has never been represented at an Executive Board level.

Cortis, who is Chairperson of Inġiniera Malta and International Affairs Secretary on the CoE Executive Council, said it was humbling to see such a level of trust from her European colleagues.

“This encouraging result was possible only because of the support of both the Chamber of Engineers and Kamra tal- Periti – especially Malcolm, Robert, Andre and Jeanette,” she said.

“Through this role, Malta will continue to effectively contribute to the international engineering community from our country’s perspective.”
