Dear Folu,

I am contesting for the International Council of IAMCR.  

I do not know how many members of the group  are members of IAMCR, but I would appreciate it if you can circulate my election statement (see below) and encourage them to post to other groups they might belong to to facilitate my chances. If they are members in good standing they might also want to consider voting for me.  I will really appreciate this. Thanks


Eno

Eno Akpabio (Tanzania)

I wish to put myself forward to serve in the international council of IAMCR.

A little about myself is appropriate here.  I hold BA(ED) English, MSc and PhD in Mass Communication.  My University teaching experience has been at the Universities of Lagos (Lecturer), Botswana (Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and Head of Department) and Dar es Salaam (Professor).

I have two books – African Communication Systems: An Introductory Text and Writing to win Hearts and Minds, numerous articles in scholarly journals as well as papers read at IAMCR, AEJMC and ICA conferences amongst others.

A relevant and germane concern of IAMCR is to attract more scholars from underrepresented regions and I see this as a cardinal objective in seeking this position.  I will strive to open the doors to quality scholarship from underrepresented areas in IAMCR.  This is possible through my traversing West, South and East Africa as well as networking opportunities which attendance at conferences has opened up.  My friendly outlook, ebullient spirit and positive disposition are plusses in this regard also.
