Dear members attending the IUFRO2014 World Congress this week,
Some of you may also be moderating sessions or else attending these sessions. Please be reminded that you are encouraged to attend the all important coming Division 5 Business Meeting this Friday 10 October, 19:00 to 21:30 at Room 355B. The agenda of the meeting is about the management of D5 groups, and also some news about the next D5 conference set for 2017. This is your forum to raise issues and help make D5 even better for IUFRO.
If you are a moderator of your technical session, I ask you to please encourage the delegates of your session to also attend the business meeting, and stand a chance to become future D5 officers.
My term as D5 Coordinator ends after the World Congress, Pekka Saranpaa will resume this responsibility thereon from 2015 - 2019 term. I am sure the membership of D5 will continue to give the in-coming coordinator and the D5 management as much if not more, support as we steer the Division to meet new and challenging expectations of forest products research and utilization in the next term.
See you at the coming D5 business meeting.
