Dear GHI Members and Subscribers to GHI Matters,
Again, I hope you will find interesting information in this issue and I also like to mention that you may use GHI Matters also as a way of communicating important messages relevant to the goal and methods of GHI to the readers.
The year 2018 has been an important year for GHI, involving much energy from active members. These are not only our Directors, Working Group leaders and Ambassadors, but also many other GHI members, who have given presentations at many places on all continents; have been writing and editing chapters for GHI books - already published or in preparation; have been active in Working Groups and participating in meetings with authorities. The next year, 2019 promises even more demanding, including the 1st GHI Congress!
Because this is the last GHI Matters of 2018, on behalf of the entire Board I express appreciation to all those active members who spent free time on the goals of GHI. Without them there would be no progress.
I wish every reader, wherever on the globe, a pleasant time and a prosperous 2019.
Kind regards,
Huub Lelieveld, 18 December 2018.

GHI Ambassadors
As you can see on the Ambassadors webpage,
GHI has ambassadors in most, but not yet all, countries with more than half a million inhabitants. It is important to have them everywhere and therefore if you know motivated scientists who are interested in GHI Ambassadorship, please direct them to the webpage and in particular to the description of the position (visit here and see here).
If seriously interested, they may write a message to Alina Gostin, Director Ambassador Programme (alina.gostin@globalharmonization.net)
