Elizabeth Roads ny hedersmedlem

Föreningsstämman i Göteborg 25 mars biföll enhälligt styrelsens förslag att kalla den skotska heraldikern Elizabeth Roads som ny hedersmedlem i Svenska Heraldiska Föreningen, vilket hon med glädje accepterat: ”I am hugely honoured and most appreciative”.

Hon blev 1987 världens första kvinna med ett häroldsämbete och är idag ordförande i den internationella heraldiska akademin (AIH).

Elizabeth Roads kommer att installeras som hedersmedlem i samband med AIHs 22a internationella heraldiska kollokvium, i Lund 16-19 augusti 2023.
