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 (don’t forget that the candidates must have the support from their institutions).

Best regards,

Margarida
