Preliminary remark:
The lists of Executive Committee members for each term are based on information published by the organization. They have been edited with care; should a reader, however, discover a mistake or oversight, the editors would appreciate being contatced so that a correction can be swiftly made.
The service of several Executive Committee members, esp. of elected politicians, was terminated early because their term of public office ended, mostly due to the outcomes of local elections. In these cases the Executive Committee usually appointed a successor upon proposal by the respective member local or regional government.
