MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
This is the time of the year when we start inviting members to renew their membership, and this year is no exception. Two major events are awaiting us in 2020: the ISBIS Conference at Brock University, in St. Catharines, Canada, on July 28-30; and the first ISBIS Regional Conference, to be held in Kochi, India, on December 28-30. You will find news items about them in the next pages. Both of them require great efforts, both financially and in terms of working hours, and I am very grateful to the people who are working to make them a great success (in particular Martina Vandebroek and Ejaz Ahmed for Canada, and Asha Gopalakrishnan and N. Balakrishna for India). You can contribute to them by submitting a paper or organizing a session, or just attending them. Please mark your calendar!
