Dear Colleagues,

It is hard to believe that the New Year is already one month gone and that IACA 2007 is just – as they say – around the corner. Let me begin by wishing each and everyone a pleasant, successful and blessed 2007 and I am hoping that it is already shaping up to be just that for you.

Conference planning is now in full gear. If something can go wrong it will and so we at the JNHT have been having a time with the special web page that we are putting in place for the conference. However in order not to hold up the process any longer I am attaching for your information all the info that you need to know right now re the conference namely hotels and rates, registration form and tours plus much more.

The abstracts have begun to come in. Thanks to those who have done so. Please remember the poster segment. At the same time it would be helpful if you could indicate whether or not you will be attending the conference so that we can forward plan more capably. I have therefore taken the liberty of attaching a form with this bulletin for you to fill in quickly and return to me. It is requesting info on whether or not you will be attending the conference and which tours you might want to participate in.

Again I look forward to meeting all of you in Jamaica and look forward to an extremely productive conference.

Yours truly
Roderick Ebanks
Conference Chair,
IACA2007 Secretariat
