Dear naphf community:

 

I am glad to report that Dr. Feijun Luo has been nominated as a candidate for the President of naphf (2011-2013). As there is only one nomination, we do not need the campaigning phrase and Dr. Luo is declared as the President-Elect of naphf. He will organize his board till October 1^st when he and his board will take position to serve the community.

 

I thank everyone who has been involved in the election process, and in particular to Dr. Xinzhi Zhang for serving as the coordinator of the nomination and election process.

 

Best

Sincerely
