*Effective from March 2011 there has been a change in the board membership of UICC. After many years of supporting UICC Sir Alex Markham is currently no longer able to participate actively in the UICC Board and he has therefore decided to offer his board membership to another person who can be actively involved in the organisation.

As defined by UICC's new constitution, in between General Assemblies it is the responsibility of the UICC President to fill vacancies in board memberships. After due consideration Eduardo Cazap has invited Dr Jamal Khader from the King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan to join as a new Board Member. He and his organisation have been longstanding supporters of UICC and he has previously been nominated and reviewed as a candidate for the UICC Board. Jamal Khader has happily accepted this nomination and is looking forward to joining the UICC Board at the next meeting during May in Geneva.
