Excerpt from the laudation:

”Silke joined the Board of ECSB in November 2011 and over the next decade made an enormous contribution to the organization. During her term as President, she led ECSB through a very difficult phase in its relationship with ICSB, and diplomatically negotiated the restructuring of its association with the world body.
