Thanks

We thank all the candidates, whether they were successful or not, for their significant support of IACR. People such as these, who are willing to accept an office and to then give generously of their time and expertise, are vital to the smooth working of our all-volunteer community.

We wish to thank the IACR members that took the time to vote. Without their participation, the process could not succeed.
