Confirmation of the IBU President and Election of Board Members
At this year’s IBU General Meeting, held on 30 May 2017, IBU members unanimously re-elected Professor Horst Bossenmayer to a sixth term as President of the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. The Board thanked Professor Bossenmayer for his untiring dedication to the IBU programme.
IBU members also elected a new Board of Directors. All board members from the past term of office (2015–2017) were re-elected, thereby affirming the confidence placed in them and mandating them, for the next two years, to continue their commitment to the task of furthering the objectives of the IBU. With the election of Moritz Bühner (Fritz Egger) and Prof. Josef Steretzeder of the Lindner Group, an additional two new candidates were voted onto the Board. Another newcomer is Anemon Strohmeyer from VHI, who succeeded Dr Peter Sauerwein as Managing Director of the VHI. Due to the personnel changes at VHI, Dr Sauerwein did not run for a position on the Board.
In a non-public vote, the Board re-elected Hans Peter (Mein Ziegelhaus) as Chairman and Dr Roman Rupp (Deutsche Rockwool) as Vice-Chairman.
As during the last term of office, the elected board members expressed their desire for collaboration with Dr Berthold Schäfer, who was appointed a co-opted member of the Board.
