Such a newsletter will probably surprise you. This is for me the last one as President of the EAFE. Indeed, I decided several weeks ago to resign from the board after seven years of activity in this association. I told it previously to the Board members.
My decision, motivated by personal and above all professional reasons, has been carefully though and really hard to take. I am an intense person that considers that if I can not do something at 100% and more, it is better to let somebody else more available to do it.

Such decision is irrevocable and announced enough early to let the board manage the designation of an interim President.
I don't give up the EAFE. I have and will always have a great consideration of this association and obviously a deep affection. That is why I decided to communicate this decision now in order to disturb as less as possible the board, in prevision of the next EAFE meeting in Murcia (Spain). I was kindly proposed to stay President until next September. This is not my temperament to be a Virtual President. Nobody is indispensable (me first) or irreplaceable (me first too!). I am still available to participate actively to the EAFE.
Good luck.

Emmanuel
EAFE member

As you read in Emmanuel’s letter, we are now in a period of transition during which the EAFE has no elected president.

For the next few months, the board decided to choose two of its members to assure an interim tandem presidency.

Jens Amendt and Carlo Campobasso will assume this interim until the meeting of Murcia in September, where a new election process will take place.

We would like to thank here Emmanuel for all these years spent working hard for the EAFE, and wish him good luck. As he told you, he does not leave the association and, be sure of that, will stay an active and passionate contributor to our association.

All the best, and see you in Murcia,

The EAFE Board
