IFTA BOARD AND OFFICER ELECTION RESULTS
June 30, 2009
Elected to the Class of 2012 were: Khawla Abu-Baker, Ph.D., Israel; Alicia Moreno, Ph.D., Spain; Lia Fernandes, MD., Portugal; Roxana Zevallos, Lic., Peru. Abu-Baker is returning for her second term. Moreno, Fernandes and Zevallos were elected to their first three-year terms. However, after the election, Alicia Moreno withdrew.
As a result of the Officer Election, Fatma Tourn Reid, M.A., Turkey, was elected Presdient-Elect and Barbara Warner, CQSW, UK, was elected Treasurer. Their election to officers resulted in their two board slots becoming vacant. With Moreno’s slot also vacated by her resignation, there were 3 open slots on the board for Member-at-Large.
According to IFTA Bylaws, when Board Member-at-Large positions are vacated for whatever reason, the President can appoint people to complete the unexpired terms of those vacated slots. These appointments are drawn from those who also ran in the previous election because their candidacies were cleared by the Nominating Committee. Thus, Judith Landau, President, in consultation with William Nichols, President-Elect, announce the replacement Fatma Reid and Barabara Warner in the Member-at-Large positions, who both were from the Class of 2010, with Charlotte Engelbrecht, M. Cur., South Africa and Maire Steadman, M.S.C., United Kingdom, who will each serve out the 1 year terms of Reid and Warner. Replacing Alicia Moreno will be Lee Bowen, Ph.D., USA, who will serve out Alicia Moreno’s three-year term.
