Last time this happened a new president was elected by the IPAF council to complete the term. By putting Lawson’s election to the AGM he will be able to serve a full two year term rather than just seeing out the current one.

The IPAF AGM and Summit will be held next Thursday at the Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam.
