We are pleased to inform you that individual presentations from the All Member Plenary Session, videotaped on 9 November in Vienna, are now available for review on the member website.
The purpose of the Fall All Member Plenary Session is to give members the opportunity to learn about the accomplishments of the past year, and the priorities for the upcoming year, as presented by each of the Technical Committee Chairs, Task Force Leaders, the Executive Director and Technical Director. The video presentations, ranging from 7 to 15 minutes in length, provide a quick and easy way to connect to the activities of the organization for members that were not able to travel to the Fall meetings. For members who did attend the Fall meetings, these videos will act as a good tool to help refresh your memory!
