This year, we had introduced a new measure to make the election process a better informed one. We had asked the candidates to provide 200 word descriptions of their background and their vision for INSEE. Although it turns out that voting is not required. Please click here to view the descriptions provided by the 11 candidates for the information of the INSEE membership.

I thank the INSEE President, INSEE office staff, CISED staff and the INSEE members themselves for their contributions to this INSEE Election 2008.

Yours sincerely,
