President- Michele Hendrikse DuBois, Munich IWC
VP Communications- Cynthia Smith- Ayed, AIWC Casablanca
VP Programs- Nan De Laubadére, AAWE Paris, FAUSA
VP Fundraising- Suzanne Wheeler, AWC Brussels
Secretary- Margaret Hilditch, Munich IWC
Treasurer- Kathy Coughlan, AW Surrey, FAUSA 

As you are aware, last year we had an unusual election in that we were electing the Board for only 1 year. This was done to bring the election years of FAWCO and The FAWCO Foundation into alignment. Kathy Coughlan, Treasurer, was re-elected to that Board. Our By-laws specify that each Board member can serve only 2 consecutive terms in each position. The by-laws have been rewritten to specify that each member may serve 2 consecutive 2-year terms. Therefore Kathy has been able to continue on with the present Board as they progress onto another term.

The By-laws of the FAWCO Foundation also specify that the VP Fundraising and the VP Programs are elected by the outgoing Foundation Board Directors. The remaining 4 Board members are elected by the FAWCO members.  

The 4 candidates we are asking you to vote on at the Bern Conference are:

President: Michele Hendrikse Du Bois, Munich IWC

VP Communications Cynthia Smith-Ayed,  AIWC Casablanca

Treasurer: Kathy Coughlan,  AW of Surrey, FAUSA

Secretary: Margaret Hilditch, Munich IWC

Some of the members are on the move geographically but they are committed to continue working together as a team to serve The Foundation. The position of Parliamentarian is appointed at the discretion of the elected President. Michele is pleased that Elsie, a Foundation Counselor, is willing to continue on the Board despite her recent relocation to Dubai.

It is with great pleasure that we submit this outstanding list of candidates for The 2013-2015 FAWCO Foundation Board.

Melissa Mash,  AW Surrey - Chair

Arline Coward - Barcelona Women's Network

Louise Greeley-Copley - AW of Eastern Province

Janet Darrow-Winter - FAUSA
