New President and General Secretary

Therese Garstenauer was elected the new President of the ITH at the General Assembly on September 22, 2022 and Laurin Blecha as new General Secretary. As the new management team, we would like to thank Susan Zimmermann and Rolf Bauer for their work and commitment to the ITH. Both have guided the ITH through difficult times and we hope to be able to continue on the successful path. Thank you Susan and Rolf!
