<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Academic Advisory Board,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have recently taken over from Susan Halford as Chair of the WSI Academic Advisory Board (please see attached the ToRs with the full list of members). I’m looking forward to working with you all and will be contacting you to follow up
on some of the actions from the last meeting. One of these was for representatives from each Faculty to meet to review related research in their Faculty and bring an overview to the next meeting - I’d be grateful if you could let me know if any progress has
been made on this. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
