Today we will have an election of new officers for the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists. Marcus Rediger, LID.CH, has been serving as President for the last four years. Prior to that he served for eight years in other positions including Vice President. A lot of things have taken place in the development of IFAJ. We talked about that in an interview following yesterday’s Executive business meeting.
Marcus is happy to have some good successors in the leadership of IFAJ. He’s happy to have been a part of the effort to open up IFAJ, especially to journalists in countries that don’t have freedom of the press. This makes them part of the IFAJ network for support and resources. Another big development during the time Marcus was in leadership includes building the financial base for IFAJ including working with sponsoring companies to the benefit of both.
During the Executive meeting discussion included items like future elections, organization funding, how to organize future congress’s, getting input from members and more.
