The IWMA articles say that member companies and institutions that allocate a member of the board may appoint an interim member of the board if their employee leaves the company or institution.
As IWMA director Robert Harley Mostad (RISE Norway) will be moving on to new pastures, his colleague Kristian Hox will take over his seat. About his appointment, Kristian Hox says: "I have always believed that IWMA and its conferences play a significant role in advancing water mist technology. As a member of the Board of Directors, I aim to position IWMA as a driving force for innovation of water mist technology and elevating its global recognition as a sustainable solution for fire protection.”
Kristian Hox will have to be confirmed in office during the next IWMA member meeting which will take place in October 2026. Voting right are on hold until then.
Robert Mostad was elected member of the board in 2023. The IWMA Board of Directors would like to thank him for his valuable input and contributions and wish him all the best for his private and professional future.
