The 13th Annual Meeting of the ISA taking place at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is only six months away and preparations are ongoing to ensure that we have an exciting meet! We can’t wait to see you all in Milwaukee in April. This is an opportunity to submit an abstract and to participate in next year’s conference. ISA is as strong as its membership, so please remember to renew your membership and to register for the conference, if you have not already done so!
Finally, we would like to congratulate the newest members of the ISA Executive who were elected at the last annual general meeting in Chicago. Chima Korieh (President), Uchenna Nzewi (Vice-President), Ogechi Anyanwu (Sec), Ada Azodo (Treasurer) and Chidi Igwe (PRO).
