mulder roelCouncil meeting at World’s Poultry Congress 2016: The WPSA Council Meeting has been planned for 8 September 2016 in Beijing, China. A number of important decisions will be made at that Council Meeting, Including:

  • Future World’s Poultry Congresses: Due to the changes in the Constitution there will be no voting on where the World‘s Poultry Congress will be held in 2024. WPC 2020 will be hosted by the French Branch in Paris. Potential hosts for WPC 2024 will be solicited prior to the Paris Congress, and the potential hosts that are accepted by the Board will be asked to make presentations to the Council and will be voted upon during the Paris Meeting.
  • Election Board members 2016-2020: At each World’s Poultry Congress Council Meeting, the officers who will form the WPSA Board for the coming 4 year period are elected. The election procedures are described in the Constitution. As part of this process for the Beijing WPC, a ‘Nominating Advisory Committee (NAC)’ has been formed by the current Board whose chairman is Dr. Avigdor Cahaner, Israel. The main task of the NAC is to come forward with a list of candidates for the WPSA board members who will be elected during the Council Meeting in Beijing. Those newly elected officers will serve WPSA for the period 2016-2020. In addition to the nominees that will be submitted by the NAC, branches and individual members can also make nominations by sending their nomination to the General Secretary . Deadline for submission is 31 December 2015.
  • International Poultry Hall of Fame: Branches have been informed about the procedures for the nomination of individuals for consideration for the International Poultry Hall of Fame. The deadline for submitting nominations for this honour to the Secretary General is 31 December 2015.
  • Scholarship awards: During the 25th World’s Poultry Congress, Scholarship Awards will be presented for respectively Research and Education. Branches have been informed as to how to proceed with nominations for these awards, and the deadline for submission to the secretary is 1 March 2016.
