All of our members are invited to the IHA General Meeting, which takes place on Tuesday 19 May during the 2015 World Hydropower Congress in Beijing.

The meeting is an opportunity to discuss our future work programme and activities, connect with new members, and meet the IHA Board. If you are a new member, the meeting provides an excellent chance to meet the community and make connections.

The candidates for the 2015 IHA Board elections will be presented during the meeting. The IHA Board is responsible for shaping and monitoring the association's work programme. More information about the elections will be available soon.

The Mosonyi Award for Excellence in Hydropower will be presented during the meeting, recognising individuals within our membership for outstanding contributions to the sector. The award is named after Emil Mosonyi, the founding president of IHA.

The meeting will also include formalities such as financial statements and the approving of our auditors, and will close with a drinks reception.

You can register for the World Hydropower Congress here. If you sign up by 31 January 2015, you can make full use of the special discounts available.
