The RC11 Business Meeting at the ISA World Congress in Gothenburg on Wednesday 14th July will be asked to ratify this slate of seven nominations for Officers-at-Large.

Please let me know if you have any queries about the RC11 nominations and election process.  We look forward to seeing you in a few weeks time at the ISA World Congress in Gothenburg.
