At the ordinary Assembly of delegates of the Swiss Federation of Philatelic Societies in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Rolf Leuthard was elected as the new Central Chairman of the VSPhV / FSPhS.
Rolf Leuthard officially took office on 1st January 2019 and succeeded Hans Schwarz. The latter led the Federation for about 2 ½ years after Ivo Bader’s resignation for health reasons in mid-2016. François Bernath, then Vice-President, did not want to take over this position. Then, Hans Schwarz has been elected Vice-President.
With this “rotation of function” at the head of the Federation, continuity within the Central Committee is ensured and know-how preserved.
The appointment of the head of Dicastery 1 (Work for Succession and Communication) remains open.
During the past two years, Rolf Leuthard was a member and Vice-President of the Central Committee. He was able to familiarize himself with the current affairs. The Central Committee is convinced that it has found the ideal candidate for this position in the person of Rolf Leuthard and wishes him good luck in his work.
Rolf Leuthard (1950) has a wealth of professional experience from various leadership positions in the military and administration as well as numerous presidencies of associations and societies. He is also an excellent philatelist who has exhibited successfully in Switzerland and abroad.
From FEPA we wish to Mr. Leuthard and to his team every success.

The ABPS, whose International Committee is led by Bill Hedley, have just taken an initiative to encourage exhibitors to exhibit in more than one class.
The idea is to present a ‘Multi-Class’ Certificate to exhibitors who have achieved at least Vermeil in five or more classes and the first certificates were awarded at Stampex in February 2019.
The ABPS’s aim is to encourage exhibitors to try their hand in more than one philatelic discipline. By awarding the certificate at the level of the lowest of the five medals achieved, they also want to give people an incentive to improve their exhibits and thereby raise the level of their certificate.
This is not at all exclusively for UK exhibitors. Indeed the APBS welcome entrants from all countries at its national exhibitions. Details are at www.abps.org/exhibiting.
