Dear ISCA members, 

The election for five ISCA Board members is now complete. The results
are as follows: 

496 ballots were received during the voting period (30 April – 30
May) with the following five candidates elected as ISCA Board members
for a period of four years from 1 September (members are listed
alphabetically): 

ALAN W BLACK (USA) 

HELEN MENG (HONG KONG) 

BERND MÖBIUS (GERMANY) 

SATOSHI NAKAMURA (JAPAN) 

TANJA SCHULTZ (GERMANY) 

On behalf of the ISCA Board, I would like to thank all of you who
took part in the election. We are seeing an increased participation
in the Board election which is very encouraging. Participation has
increased from 169 ballots in 2007 to 338 in 2009 to 496 today. 

I would also like to encourage you to attend the ISCA General
Assembly which will take place in Florence in conjunction with
INTERSPEECH 2011 (http://www.interspeech2011.org). The General
Assembly is open to all members of ISCA and provides an excellent
opportunity for you to actively participate in the meeting and
propose suggestions to help make our association even better. 

Looking forward to seeing you in Florence. 

Best regards, 

David House
