[ezcol_2third]At the 5th General Assembly in Vienna Anne Lawson Porter resigned as Vice President of COTEC.

We are very grateful for everything she has done for COTEC in her four-years term as VP. She has been a wonderful colleague, a great chair and moderator of meetings and a person who asked us the right questions at the right moment. She stimulated us to reflect on our actions and challenged us to think strategically and enabled us to phrase our thoughts in “proper” English. Her contribution to COTEC and the development of OT-EU and ROTOS is conclusive.

On behalf of the General Assembly Members and the Executive Committee we thank her and wish her well!

We welcome Naomi Hankinson as new Vice President of COTEC and are looking forward to working with her in the COTEC Executive Committee.[/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end][/ezcol_1third_end]
