OFFICE MESSAGE
Another Congress
is in the books!
The 12th Biennial ISAKOS Congress, held this past May in Cancun, Mexico, was a great success! We invite you to read more about the ISAKOS Congress on pages 12 – 21 of this newsletter. A special thank you and congratulations to Stefano Zaffagnini, 2017 – 2019 ISAKOS Program Chair, Volker Musahl, Program Deputy Chair, and the rest of the Program Committee for their diligent efforts over the past two years. As we close the Cancun chapter, we open another as we look toward the 13th Biennial Congress in Cape Town in 2021. Volker Musahl has stepped up as the 2019–2021 Program Chair, with Mark Clatworthy as Deputy Chair; both are dedicated to providing you with an outstanding program and agenda in Cape Town. Don’t forget – the Call for Abstracts and award applications open on September 1, 2019!
During the Congress in Cancun, Marc R. Safran of the United States passed the title of ISAKOS President to Willem M. van der Merwe of South Africa. Willem is the first ISAKOS president to hail from the continent of Africa. Learn more about Dr. van der Merwe, his plans for ISAKOS, and an announcement of the 2019 – 2021 Board of Directors on page 2. The new committees are also already hard at work, with numerous projects and publications in the works! A complete list of the 2019 – 2021 ISAKOS Committee members can be found on pages 5 –8. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming committee projects – we encourage members to follow ISAKOS on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates.
Also new this term are a number of special membership offers – don’t miss these opportunities!
