To All Members,  

Sub: IATO Elections 2020, Order by the Returning Officer

Dear Friends,

I presided over a meeting of the IATO EC and all contestants on 6th May 2020.

The meeting was convened by me to take everyone's views on holding the IATO Elections in the shadow of COVID-19.

Everyone across the board was unanimous in asking for postponement of IATO elections. 

After hearing all opinions of the contestants, the following decisions were taken:-

 

·       The IATO election process is hereby postponed till such time the lockdown restrictions are lifted. 

·       Even post lifting of restrictions we will need to accommodate the process of companies having to rebuild business and open operations.

·       Another meeting will be scheduled for end June where an informed decision will be taken.

·       IATO will also explore viability of conducting online elections, if the need arises. 

·       In the interim, the Office Bearers, EC and Chapter Chairmen of IATO are hereby allowed to work as normal with no restrictions.

Take care and stay safe.

Akshay Kumar
