Every second year, five out of the ten regular members of the Board of Directors of the European Regional Section of the International Association for Statistical Computing are elected for a period of four years. Furthermore, a chairperson elect is elected for two years who will become chairperson for the two consecutive years.
The selection committee found five suitable candidates from different fields of computational statistics and different countries for the Board of Directors as well as a candidate for the chairperson elect.
