AEMI

CHAIRMAN´S REPORT 2014
received applications for membership
from the following three institutions:
CGM - Center of History of Migrants,
Leiden University, the Netherlands,
University of Osnabruck,
Germany and House of Emigrants,
Gothenburg, Sweden. Jacek Barski, representing
Porta Polonica – Documentation
Centre for the Culture and History
of Poles in Germany, Bucum, Germany
and Inese Auzina-Smita, representing
Latvian Documentation Centre in the
UK, have also addressed their interest to
join the Association.
In closing, I would like to draw your
attention to another matter that needs
discussing. Your Board is now entering
the final year of its tree-year term so
elections are due to be held this year.
That means that you need to think
19
about who to elect next that have the
talent and energy to take the organisation
a step forward. I would like to
thank again Mathias Nilsson and his
colleagues at the Swedish Migration
Center for hosting the Annual Meeting
in Sweden in 2013. And we also thank
Marianna Aulieciema and her colleagues
at Latvians Abroad, Riga, Latvia, for
welcoming us to Riga.
