News from Icograda
Back from Sydney : the XVIII Icograda General Assembly
Dear Colleagues,
I am happy Let me take this opportunity to report that we had a very good general assembly. Despite the distances involved, participation in the GA was higher than in previous years and we were happy to enroll some new members to Icograda. More are in the pipeline.
I am very confident that Icograda has made extremely important advances over the past two years and I am lucky to take the wheel at a time when the ship is on a sure course. Guy-A Schockaert must be given much credit for such dedication. I think that it has been many years since the prospects for Icograda have been so bright. The new board also has very great potential and energy.
David Grossman, President Icograda 1999-2001.
