IAH Annual Report 2024

Governance and Managing

IAH members voted in our 4-yearly council elections and Dr. Teodóra Szőcs was elected President, following Prof. David Kreamer’s 4-year tenure. Five new members joined IAH’s Council, which also voted to include the Chair of the Early Career Hydrogeology Network as a member of Council. The revised Articles and Rules, developed over two years after HSBC’s withdrawal of banking services to IAH, were presented to members at our annual general meeting and were accepted, following extensive discussion.
