The
result of the poll for the election of the Officers and Members of the WASER
Council for 2022-2025 was declared in May 2022. Each of the 12 nominated
candidates listed on the slate obtained very strong support from the voting
members. The results will be approved and announced at the 7th WASER
Council meeting to be held online in the near future and they will subsequently
officially take on the responsibilities of the Officers and Members of the WASER
Council for 2022-2025. Details of the result can be found on the WASER website.
A Nominations Committee was established in February 2022, under
the chairmanship of past President, Professor Des E. Walling and this committee
produced a slate of recommendations for both the Officers and Ordinary Council
Members at the end of March. The ballot paper was sent out in early April and most
of the WASER members had returned their votes by May 15.
