EASE Presidents 1982 to 2024

EASE’s first President was Dr Stephen Lock appointed when EASE was formed from the amalgamation of Editerra and ELSE in 1982. Since then 13 others have held the office. Presidents were rotated every three years, but from 2020 the term was reduced from three years to two.

In the picture above, taken in Bucharest at the 15th EASE Conference in 2018, we see five members who have served as President: Joan Marsh (2009-2015), fourth from the left on the front row, with newly elected President, Pippa Smart (2018-2020) Ana Marušić (2015-2018) standing on her left. Duncan Nicholas (2020-2023) is standing second from the right on the front row with Cem Uzun (2023-2025), who is the current President on his left.

Apologies for the missing/grainy images.
