Elections for President


This year IODA is going to hold elections for three position and we will start with the election of a new president.
Our thoughts and love go out to Suzanne Zaldivar who has led IODA until last year. As Suzanne stepped down as President due to health reasons Michelle de Bruyn stepped up to take over until this upcoming election. We remain grateful to Suzanne and Michelle for their efforts to keep IODA moving forward.

You are invited to join the process as candidate or as active member, who will
be eligible to vote.
