[Iyrp-gcg] IYRP co-chair elections outcome

Sun Jan 14 11:27:26 MST 2024

Hi Fiona

Those operating at the global level coordinating IYRP activities and
processes i.e. myself, Ann, Maryam, Barbara, Jonathan (and now the new
co-chairs) were looking for a collective name for ourselves to ease
communication with others and hopefully would assist in clarifying all our
roles. We thought IYRP ISP Global Secretariat would be a fitting name. We
modified our organogram accordingly, and I am not sure where on the website
it is located. Ann might assist or I can send it when I am get to my
computer.

Regards
Igshaan
