Hi
I am grateful and humbled by this nomination.
Always know that NCSG can count on me and it is an honor to be
nominated by colleagues on the Global South, please always count on
me.
However, this seems too big for me. I am still learning and NCSG
representation is a huge step.
Also, as a big believer in geographic diversity representation, I'd
hope we have a colleague from Asia-Pacific interested on the position.
We have so many good people from there.
If not willing to self nominate, please write to me and I'll nominate you.
I would like to support all members for continuity.
Tapani, thank you for your guidance and willingness to help me when I
was a newcomer to NCSG. I am sure I am not the only one and we never
forget that.
Stephanie, thanks for being so patient and helpful on giving advice
and orientation on all things NCSG. You don't know but are a true
reference to many.
Edward, you have done a great saying what needs to be said in the
exact moment. I hope you continue to champion difficult battles for
NCSG.
And David, thanks for everything you did during your term. This is a
tough job and you did it well.
Best,
Renata
