Dear Colleagues,

The elections were held during the AFRINC General Members’ Meeting held in Lusaka, Zambia on this Friday 21 June 2013. For the first time, besides onsite voting, members had an opportunity to vote online. 

The new Board members will serve a term of three years. The term will come to an end on the date of the Annual General Members’ Meeting held on or around the third anniversary of the date of election.
