Dear visitors of the WFN website,
Welcome to the WFN website, which contains regularly updated information on the activities of the World Federation of Neurology. Please also look at World Neurology and the WFN Service Page in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences for updates.
The WFN Council of Delegates (COD) meeting took place on 25th September 2024 as a virtual meeting. All trustees were present in-person in the London office attending this important yearly event; A total of seventy-two people participated and fifty-eight member societies attended.
The president, officers and several committee chairs reported on the proceedings of the WFN. The trustees proposed a motion to introduce the position of president elect, and to have the immediate past president remain on the board for one year in future. This is necessary to preserve continuity, which is important for many of the long-term tasks of the WFN. Moreover, future presidents of the WFN should have previously held office as a trustee or acted as chair of a WFN committee for at least one year, to establish a profile within the organisation. The important aspect of conflicts of interest was also addressed. The wording had been shared with all delegates prior to the meeting.
Four motions were put forward:
- Approval of the Auditors’ Report for 2023;
- Re-appointment of Griffin Stone Moscrop & Co as auditors;
- Change byelaws to have a president elect and a past president in the future; and
- Acceptance of Ghana as the new 125th member of the WFN.
