主题: [IYRPsupportgroup] Nomination of Dr Igshaan Samuels as co-chair of IYRP GCG

Dear Maryam,   
   Thanks for the call for nominations for co-chair of the IYRP GCG. I would like to nominate Dr Igshaan Samnuels from South Africa as your co-chair.   
   Igshaan is a researcheron rangeland ecology and management for the Agricultural Research Council (ARC)in South Africa. He holds a PhD in Botany from the University of Cape Town andhas worked in arid agricultural landscapes for 19 years. His research puts himin touch with grassroots activities and the challenges of pastoralists,particularly the indigenous Nama peoples of South Africa. He is the currentpresident of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa (GSSA), having served inthis position and other GSSA portfolios previously. He is also on theInternational Rangeland Congress (IRC) Continuing Committee representing Africasouth of the Sahara. Furthermore, he is part of the core leadership team of theIYRP RISG for Eastern and Southern Africa and a member of the IYRP GCG. He hasbeen involved in policy development at both local and national level in SouthAfrica and is currently leading the development of the country’s rangelandmanagement strategy.    
   I have been working closelywith Igshaan during the awareness-raising and advocacy activities leading up tothe approval of the IYRP 2026. He has devoted a great deal of time to theseactivities and has been utterly reliable when weagreed on shared tasks. I can assure you 100%, Maryam: you will be able to dependon Igshaan in sharing the co-chair tasks!   
   I asked Igshaan about hiswillingness to take on the co-chair position. He discussed it with his familyand with his manager in ARC, as he is aware that the tasks will take some timeaway from his other professional duties and his personal life. All havesupported the idea that he take on the co-chair position. He has thereforeagreed to accept this nomination.   
   In my view, he wouldprovide a perfect balance for you, Maryam, in co-chairing the GCG.   
   Cheers,   Ann
