Weltraum Philatelie elects new leadship: Jurgen P. Esders now V.P.

German astrophilatelists have a new leadership: four months after the sudden death of their long time President Peter Wilhelm, the members of 'Weltraum Philatelie' have unanimously selected a new Board. The new board wants to open the society to new aspects of the hobby while maintaining its high standing in the classical field of showing astrophilataelic collections in competitive exhibitions.

During the General Meeting of the association in mid-April in the German city of Stuttgart, Florian Noller, 31 years old self-employed, was elected President. Noller had been serving as Vice President since 1997. Noller lives at Renningen near Stuttgart. He is also owner of a space memorabilia company, spaceflori.com.

Congratulations to long time ASSS member Jurgen Peter Esders, a WP Member for over 25 years, who has become Vice President. The 49 year old European Commission official and journalist has been editing the association's newsletter since the early 80's. Esders is also the International Director (Europe) of the American sister organization Space Unit and lives in the German capital, Berlin.
