Dear Colleagues,
At the 1999 Ewodor Symposium which was held in Stirling Scotland last week,
arrangements were agreed for the presidency of Ewodor in the new millenium.
As you know, my own tenure as President is coming to an end. We have
therefore agreed that Professor Eric Broekaert of the Universiteit Gent
will take over as President in the new year. Professor Broekaert will be
known to many of you as one of the founders of the organisation almost two
decades ago. He will serve the organisation for a period of one year,
during which time it is intended that the links between Universiteit Gent
and the University of Barcelona will be strengthened in order to accomodate
a transfer of the presidency to Spain in 2001.
In a separate decision, it was agreed that I should continue to act as
Membership Secretary with responsibility for new applications and the
maintainance of our on-line services.
I have enjoyed my period as President and I believe that they have been a
very fruitful two years for the organisation. I am grateful to colleagues
and members of the Organising and Scientific Committee who have been so
supportive during this period. I am grateful too to the Scottish
Office/Scottish Executive who so generously provided financial support for
the two Scottish symposia.
I look forward to continuing dialogue and collaboration with you as
Membership Secretary.
Best wishes for the New Year
Rowdy Yates
