Mahadeo Sukhai has been appointed as Interim President until the board meets to elect its Executive committee at its first Board Meeting in 2007. At that time, Rachael Ross will assume the role of Past-President.

NEADS would like to pass on its gratitude and best wishes to the following individuals who are leaving us after their time on the Board:
