Dear All,

The 2010 AGM has elected a new Executive Board, now consisting of the old members Felix Lautenschlager as President and Arno L. Eisen as Vice President. Niccolò Landi did not run again for office, and we thank him for his contribution. Priya Akula from Australia was elected as the second Vice President.

Further, we are happy to welcome Colin J. Wall as a new member to our Adivsory Board. Colin has always been very supportive of the MAA and its work and we look forward to working with him in the future.
