Dear Colleagues
It is time to think about nominating candidates for IUFRO Board Membership,
namely we need to find a new Division IV coordinator. As you must know I
have been serving as Division IV coordinator for the last 2 terms, therefore
I cannot go on in this position. According to IUFRO's statutes, any
individual member of the Union (individuals belonging to a Member
Organization and Associate Members) may make nominations of potential
candidates. However it has been a practice in Division IV that we elect and
propose a candidate with the support of the Division. We must appoint the
candidates by January 31st. In order to cope with this deadline, I discussed
with Division IV Deputy coordinators and Research Units coordinators and
came out with the following proposal:
- By January 11st, we find some possible candidates (maybe 4-5??)
that accept the possibility of being elected and that have the support of
their institutions.
- We conduct a voting through email during the period January 12 to
January 20, so that we have a complete Division IV proposal by January 31st.
We are now on the way to search for potential candidates and I ask you to
make your own proposals (dont forget that the candidates must have the
support from their institutions).
Best regards,
Margarida
