LETTER OF THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to inform you that in
the latest Executive Committee meeting
some very important decisions were made
regarding the future of our Association.
In the interests of improving the value
proposition offered to participating
Institutes and their members, we are
studying some terribly interesting projects
which regard the Technical Committees,
the search for new Sponsors, and for the
restyling of our Web site.
I am very aware that we must do a lot
more to render IAFEI more attractive, and
while to date much effort has been made,
the results have not yet come close to my
personal targets. It is not an easy job, but
the new projects now on the table should
give IAFEI amuch better andmore dynamic
and modern feel! By the end of 2017, I’m
sure you will be able to appreciate the
results of our work.
The hard work of the Area Presidents and
the Advisory Council have resulted in the
arrival of two new members, Cambodia
and Spain. We all give a very warm
welcome to the new colleagues from
these two countries, certain that their
contribution as new members will drive us
to achieve even more as an association.
At the same time, we are working intensely
on the upcoming IAFEI WORLD CONGRESS
2017 which will take place in Sao Paolo in
Brasil from 27th to 29th September next.
Our friends and members from Brasil
are using all their professionality and
experience to produce a top class event, as
can be seen from the important themes on
the program and from the high level of the
contributors and speakers, guaranteeing a
thoroughly successful congress.
I look forward to greeting as many of you
as possible in Sao Paolo for a wonderful
moment of comparison between the
realities of so many different countries
and economic regions, which will lay the
foundations for our personal and business
development over the next 12 months.
Best wishes for the summer holidays in the
meantime!
Fausto Cosi
IAFEI Chairman
