We have finished the stage of seeking potential candidates for the Board of the Consortium. We have about 400 names and our consultants are confident that we have strong candidates.  Thanks a lot to all of you who contributed to such a good start!

In the coming weeks we will be working to produce a short list for Chair and Vice-Chair and another one for the remaining seven members of the board.

We are on schedule to have a final list of candidates for approval by the Alliance by the end of November, and an appointed full Board ready to be announced during the CGIAR Business Meeting in December.

Warm regards,

Julio Berdegué
