The IDEAS Election Committee would like to congratulate Pablo Rodriguez-Bilella and Osama Obeidat on their election as new Board Members of IDEAS, and we wish them both a happy and successful term in office. We believe they will bring to the Board new ideas and new energy for fulfilling the IDEAS vision.
We would also like to thank the other outstanding candidates who were nominated to stand for election, but who were not successful this time. We hope they will continue their strong support of IDEAS and we appreciate their commitment to IDEAS' work.
Finally, thanks to those IDEAS members who participated in the 2012 elections.
Please see, below, the results of the election for two new Board members:
