Beatriz Hernandez de Fuhr and Marie Gry Torup Ildvedsen are acting as Interim Co-Chairpersons of the Executive Committee. Freemuse would like to thank its founding members for their commitment. Especially Professor Martin Cloonan, outgoing Executive Committee Chairperson, for “his dedication and transformational leadership, whose contribution has been invaluable from the earlier years of Freemuse to the present time”. “It is an honour to have worked with a man with such vision, leadership and commitment. Without Martin, Freemuse would neither have come this far, nor be this strong and relevant. I wish him well and look forward to engaging with him in a different role,” Freemuse Executive Director Dr Srirak Plipat said.
