Changes were proposed at the London-based body's General Assembly in September, with the results of this meeting having now been released.

The composition of the Board remains the same, but exact roles and responsibilities have changed

While Great Britain's David Hadfield continues as the body's President, and Portugal's Joaquim Viegas, one of the founding members of BISFed, and Paul Chambers, the chief executive of Boccia England, remain as vice-president and treasurer, Hong Kong's Martin Lam has been made secretary general.

He will focus on the areas of governance, membership and bid evaluation, as well as organising Board and General Assembly meetings. 

The three other Board members will also now serve specific areas, with Canada's Dom Tremblay overseeing competitions, Greece's Dina Sotiriadi assuming responsibility for sport development and South Africa's Elsa Matthee heading up classification and anti-doping.
