Dear Colleagues,
 
The European Cystic Fibrosis Society Board has three vacancies this year.  Prof. Harm Tiddens and Prof. Daniel Peckham both finish their terms and we wish to express our gratitude to both for their contribution to the Board over the past 3 years.  Kris will be finishing her term as ECFS President, which leaves an open position for a Board member.
 
We have five candidates for the three positions left vacant.  It is very important therefore that you as members of ECFS consider carefully and vote accordingly to your assessment of the proposed candidates.  It is essential that the Board has a strong and engaged membership to provide leadership to the Society.  
 
The Board should represent the ECFS membership in all aspects of our activities and should be drawn from a number of different European countries and reflect the main areas of our activity.  
 
We have five excellent candidates who have been nominated.  Please read their short summaries carefully and consider their potential contributions and vote accordingly.  

Many thanks for your cooperation as members of the ECFS and we hope to continue to provide support and opportunities for the wider membership and the CF community to engage in the important activities of the ECFS.

Many thanks. 
Yours sincerely,

Kris De Boeck                                    Isabelle Fajac
        ECFS President                                    ECFS President Elect
