Please consider nominating one or more colleagues to the IAWA Council. We have a number of Council members who are reaching their term by the end of 2020 and whose vacancy will have to be filled according to the IAWA Constitution (amended version, 2007). Members serve a three-year term, with the possibility to be re-elected to a second consecutive term. The Executive Secretary and current Council will solicit brief vision statements from those who accept nomination – these statements will be collected and made available to all IAWA Members prior to or at the time of ballot distribution. Please send your nominations to Deputy ES Hisashi Abe (
abeq@affrc.go.jp). The deadline for submission is November 30, 2020.
