We wish them all the best of luck for the upcoming year, and we’re looking forward to see what they will accomplish.
We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all the other candidates for their courage and willingness to candidate for a Board position in this election. We hope that you will stay involved and keep contributing to the IAM and memory sports in general. Remember that any IAM member has a voice and can make a difference in the future of the IAM. You all bring something unique to the table, and we would love to see your passion for our organisation and sport also in the future.
With this, we conclude the first democratic election of the IAM.
The Election Committee,
Florian, Guillaume, Boris
