Change in Leadership 2021
Frauke Alves handed over the Presidency to Hervé Boutin.
A special and cordial THANKS to the Past President Giannis Zacharakis who rotated out of the Executive Committee: it was a quite tough time in office with difficult decisions to take including a no-in-person annual meeting in 2020.
A warm welcome to Michal Neeman who joins the Committee as Vice President. Michal will take over the Presidency from Hervé after the EMIM 2022 in March in Thessaloniki.
After eight years as part of the Committee, Fabian Kiessling rotated out and handed-over his duties as Secretary to Jordi Llop. We are so grateful for Fabian’s continuous, tireless, and always valuable views and tremendously strong commitment to the field and the ESMI – THANKS FABIAN!
