Dear ECFS Members,
The European Cystic Fibrosis Society Board has three vacancies this year. Prof. Barry Plant and Dr. Pavel Drevinek finish their terms and we wish to express our deepest thanks to both for their contribution to the Board over the past 6 years. Prof. Isabelle Fajac will end her tenure as ECFS President this coming June and we are very grateful for her leadership, especially during the difficult years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have received nominations for three senior figures of the CF community.
Please see their nominations, CV and personal statements here: https://www.ecfs.eu/ecfs-board-elections-2024
This year, we are in the unusual position of having received three applications for the three open positions. Under these unusual circumstances, it was felt it would not be a sensible use of our resources to organise secured online elections.
In our constitution, and in the interest of democracy, we do require to have a vote on the three candidates’ applications. There is an opportunity if anyone wishes to express a NO vote to any of them in the anonymous webform below available when logged in to myecfs. The form will remain open until 3 June 23:59 CEST.
It is very important for us in the Society to clearly express our support for those elected and appointed to lead the Society and we would be very grateful if you would take the time to express your opinion on the three candidates’ applications.
Many thanks,
looking forward to seeing you all soon in Glasgow,
Silke van Koningsbruggen-Rietschel
ECFS Secretary
