In June, the IOC proposed 8 new IOC members for election. The eight new members were elected on July 24th during the 142nd IOC Session in Paris, France – one of which is our own MEMOSIAN Damaris I. Young from MEMOS V in Spanish. To read more from the IOC Session during the Summer Olympic Games, click here.

From IOC Member Damaris I. Young: “I am proudly a MEMOS Master and an Alberto Madella award recipient,  and certainly taking this program was a major milestone in my academic and professional career.”
