Dear ICOM Colleagues,
I commend Robert Spickler for assuming the interim directorial role for
ICOM. I believe he will do an excellent job and carry forward the work
initiated by Piet Pouw during his year long service is interim Secretary
General. The future of ICOM is strong and it is constantly reinforcing
its preeminent position in the world. It is of the utmost importance
that the new Director General is a person with the intellect, vision,
and motivation to help guide the organization into the future. Careful
consideration of all candidates for this critical position is imperative
and the time invested prior to selection of the most qualified person
will result in a more viable future of ICOM.
As a further note: Considering the stellar work of Piet J. M. Pouw
during the past year as interim Secretary General and his other services
to the organization, I encourage all National and International
Committees to nominate him for recognition as an Honorary Member of
ICOM. Piet came out of retirement (pension) after a successful career as
a professor and director of the Reinwardt Academy in Amsterdam to accept
the challenges of ICOM. Before accepting that responsibility, he was
Treasurer of ICOM, Chair of ICTOP, and an active member of the Ethics
Committee. Few of our members had given more time, energy, and
dedication to ICOM.
I believe he has more than earned our respect and recognition as an
Honorary Member.
Respectfully,
Gary Edson
