Dear colleague,
On behalf of the ESPMH Board, I would like to invite you to attend the General Assembly of our
Society, which will take place in Tartu on Friday 22 August, 2008 (16.30-17.30 hrs). Enclosed please
find the draft agenda of this meeting.
In an earlier letter (dated 12 November 2007) we invited you to nominate candidates for two positions
in the Board of the ESPMH. The three-year term of office of the Treasurer (Gerrit Kimsma) and a
board member (Eugenijus Gefenas) will finish by the end of this year, which means that these two
positions will be up for election in Tartu. Subsequent to the invitation to propose candidates, we have
not received any nominations. Luckily, both Gerrit Kimsma and Eugenijus Gefenas are willing to
serve yet another term. Therefore, the Board's election proposal is as follows:
The position of Treasurer of the ESPMH: Gerrit Kimsma
The position ofregular member of the Board: Eugenijus Gefenas
According to the by-laws concerning the election procedure, a candidate can be elected without ballots
if there is only one candidate for a position and the General Assembly unanimously agrees.
Biosketches of the candidates have been enclosed in this mailing.
On behalf of the Board,
Bert Gordijn
Secretary ofESPMH
Enclosed: draft agenda of the General Assembly in Tartu, draft report of the 21 st GENERAL ASSEMBLY in
Cardiff 2007, biosketches of the candidates & call for abstracts for the Tiibingen conference in 2009.
Please note:
On September 1st 2008 the secretary takes up a new position as Chair of Ethics and Director of the Ethics
Institute at Dublin City University. Consequently, the secretariat will move to Ireland. Please start using the
