ICSSPE President Margaret Talbot has requested Vice-President Uri Schaefer to temporarily act on her behalf.

 

ICSSPE Executive Director Detlef Dumon on 4 August 2014 informed the President’s Committee and Executive Board that Margaret Talbot due to health reasons had appointed Vice-President Uri Schaefer as Acting President to ensure a strong and efficient leadership of the organisation.

 

Schaefer is receiving support from his seniors in order to be able to diligently perform his new role for the sake of ICSSPE in addition to his responsibilities as Vice-President Science. Responding to his appointment Schaefer said that he will do his best to “continue with the same persistence and vision in the spirit of what Margaret had in mind when she took on her presidency.”

 

Dumon is convinced that “in accordance with the statutes, the President's Committee and the Executive Board will continue to lead the business of ICSSPE in close cooperation with the staff of the Executive Office until the next General Assembly.”
