The elected representatives in the President’s Committee are Margaret Talbot (UK) as new President of ICSSPE, as well as Vice-Presidents Walter Ho (Macau), Walter Mengisen (Switzerland), Victor Matsudo (Brazil) and Treasurer Susi-Käthi Jost (Switzerland).

The new Executive Board as of 2009 consists of the following people:

Other members remaining on the Executive Board in 2009 include Lateef Amusa, John Saunders, Alicja Rutkowska-Kucharska and ICSSPE’s Executive Director Detlef Dumon.

In addition, Kari Keskinen was also selected to serve as Chair of the Editorial Board.

Congratulations and welcome to our new Board Members!

This is also an opportunity to thank the outgoing members of the President's Committee, Executive Board members, as well as of the Editorial Board, for all their effort and support. Without all of their help, ongoing encouragement and motivation this organisation would not be what it is today.

Thank you so much for all of your help!
