BackThe Swedish Government has appointed Mats Melin President of the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court on 26 August 2010. Consequently, he will resign from his present position as Chief Parliamentary Ombudsman on 2 January 2011 to take up the new post.
Mats Melin has been an Ombudsman since 2004 with a specifically strong commitment within the I.O.I. After serving on the European Board Melin was elected Vice-President in June 2009 and played a major role in the relocation process of the I.O.I. In June 2010 Melin became Acting President of the I.O.I. after the retirement of Bill Angrick and handed over the Presidency to Beverley Wakem in October 2010.
Despite his career move Mats Melin will continue to be involved in I.O.I. matters as he has accepted the Board’s offer to stay on the Governance and By-laws Committee, that he previously chaired as a consultant.
