IFIAR has appointed Delon Abrams, Senior Policy Officer at the IFIAR Secretariat, as Acting Executive Director. He succeeds the former Executive Director Carl Renner, who left IFIAR at the end of August, until a new Executive Director is appointed. The nomination process for the new Executive Director will commence shortly.

Mr. Abrams joined the IFIAR Secretariat soon after its launch in 2017 and has played a key role in supporting IFIAR’s operations since.

Mr. Renner served as Executive Director of IFIAR and led the Secretariat since its establishment in 2017, and IFIAR Chair extends its appreciation for Mr. Renner’s years of contribution to IFIAR.
