Dear all,
Please before you forget begin gathering the information of all the numerous
things you did during the year as part of this great IUFRO network. In order
for me to resemble the information please send a resume of the activities in
relation to Division 8 that your WP, your Unit your Task Force etc. etc.
were involved during this year. I am certain that will be also great events
to report that took place in Curitiba. Please send reports and pretty
pictures using this subject on your email if the photos and/or the report
is heavy please use We transfer or similar do not send heavy files because
my system will block them and I will not receive any notification
Looking forward to learn more on your exiting activities during the year
Cheers
Sandra

Dear All
I have exciting news for our IUFRO DIVISION 8 - the IUFRO Board approved all changes in structure and officers. Then we do have the great pleasure to welcome a NEW UNIT 8.04.00 – Air pollution and Climate Change (please see detailed list of officers attach.) – A big thanks to Elena, Alessandra and all the IUFRO colleagues that worked in this strategic change – welcome to all!
The Board has also approved the new Deputy coordinators positions, I welcome Elena Paoletti and Anna Barbati; together with Alexia Stokes and myself will be leading the Division for the next 5 years period. Then I am very proud to let you know that we are making history in IUFRO since this is the first Division ever in the long history of IUFRO to have only women coordinators.
Note several changes are taking place for WP officers – I will send a detailed file with these changes in positions and newcomers after the WC in Curitiba, I know that some changes will still happen while discussions will take place during the WC
