The International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IULTCS) has confirmed that Dr Bi Shi will become its new president at the end of this year.
Dr Bi, professor and director of the laboratory of leather chemistry and engineering at Sichuan University in China, will take over the role from Elton Hurlow of specialist chemical company Buckman, who has served as president for the last two years.
Mr Hurlow said recently that Dr Bi, currently an IULTCS vice-president, was ably qualified to take up the role of president. He commented: "I am convinced that with the support of the incoming vice-president Dr Volkan Candar, and the able and ready assistance of executive secretary, Dr Campbell Page, along with the current commission chairs and new executive council structure that the union is strong and in good hands."
