In the general assembly on March 1, 2022, we have elected a new board. The organizers of DGKL8, Constanze Juchem-Grundmann and Susanne Niemeier, have left the board. We are very grateful to them for their longstanding service for the cognitive-linguistic community and the DGKL/GCLA. All other board members have been re-elected; Peter Uhrig, who had belonged to the board from 2014 to 2018, has joined the board again. Alexander Willich has joined the board as the new general secretary of the association. Here’s the full board:

• Thomas Herbst, Erlangen (President)
• Susanne Flach, Zurich
• Juliana Goschler, Oldenburg
• Beate Hampe, Erfurt
• Stefan Hartmann, Düsseldorf
• Doris Schönefeld, Leipzig
• Peter Uhrig, Erlangen
• Arne Zeschel, Mannheim
• Alexander Willich, Düsseldorf (Secretary General)
• Anatol Stefanowitsch, Berlin (Yearbook editor)

The general assembly took place after the first day of the 9th International Conference of the DGKL/GCLA. We are very grateful to Beate Hampe, Anja Binanzer, and their team for making this virtual conference a highly enjoyable event.
