Barbara Fischer Fürwentsches, who has been a board member for 15 years and president for the last 5 years, has resigned from the board in July 2010 for professional reasons. She will however continue to work for IBF Luxembourg by running the IBF office and thus use her long-lasting experience to further support IBF board members in their work. IBF Luxembourg presidency has been taken over by Markus Postler.

At present 87 financial experts from 62 different companies are members of IBF Luxembourg.
