To all ICA members

Words of thanks CITRA VP Election

Willemstad, June 12, 2008

Dear colleagues,

Democracy in ICA is blooming since the introduction of the elections of its officials. In order to give expression to democracy we as ICA's members are being encouraged not only to vote for the candidates of our choice but also to volunteer as candidates to be elected. By volunteering as VP CITRA I was conscious that the choice would be hard for you. Therefore I am most grateful and so honored for receiving the majority of votes.

I am aware that ICA members expect concrete actions to address issues related to the changing role of our profession. Building on the foundations laid by our predecessors you can rest assured that I will work hard with the incoming CITRA Bureau team to try to meet with your expectations in the upcoming conference programs for 2009-2011.
It is an honor for me to serve ICA in this prestigious position and I thank you for accepting me as vice president CITRA.

Kindest regards,
