The RES extends its sincere thanks to the trustees who are stepping down for their dedication and contributions to the Society’s success. We are also deeply grateful to all candidates who stood for election, reflecting the strength and breadth of commitment within the entomological community.
We look forward to working together with our newly elected Chairs, and the wider membership and community to take the Society forward in the years to come.
Warm welcome to the new RES President
Please extend a very warm welcome to the newest President of the Royal Entomological Society, Dr Allan Watt Hon.FRES. Professor Watt brings extensive expertise and leadership in entomology, and his appointment marks an exciting step forward in the Society’s ongoing mission to promote insect science in support of biodiversity, conservation, and global challenges.
This year’s Trustee election highlights the depth of expertise, commitment, and passion across our community.
