Election Results
We are pleased to share the results of the 2024 elections of the ISSM Board of Directors.

We extend our thanks to all members who participated in the voting process.

Secretary-General
Congratulations to John Mulhall, who has been elected as Secretary-General of ISSM. John Mulhall will also begin his term on the ISSM Board of Directors on January 1, 2025.
Members at Large
We extend our gratitude to all the candidates who expressed their willingness to serve our organization. Following a closely contested election, we are pleased to announce the results. Originally, two positions for Member-at-Large were available. However, with Eric Chung’s election as President-Elect, his previously held Member-at-Large position also became vacant, creating a third opportunity.
We congratulate Yan Zhang, Alan Shindel, and Omer Raheem on their election as Members-at-Large. They will officially begin their roles on January 1, 2025.
As the ISSM Board decided to offer the newly vacant Member-at-Large position to the next highest vote recipient, the third runner-up in the recent election, Omer Raheem (UAE), has been appointed to fill this spot. Congratulations to Omer Raheem, who will serve a two-year term as Member-at-Large.
