PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS MARCH 2012

 AGM - 22 May 2012, 10am, Stockholmsmässan, Stockholm

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS OPEN – DEADLINE 23 APRIL 2012

Further to my announcement in January 2012, as ECTS President I am writing to encourage you to consider suitable nominations for the vacant positions on the ECTS Board of Directors.  All ECTS members are entitled to suggest candidates, and the election process is by ballot, thus ensuring a democratic and fair process.

There are potentially 4 vacant posts on the Board and further details on the positions vacant and nomination procedure can be viewed here.  The AGM agenda and electronic ballot will be circulated on 30 April, but in the meantime please submit your nominations by 23 April 2012.  This is your chance to be involved and to have your say!

If you have not yet registered for the Stockholm congress, all the information you require is available online at http://www.ectscongress.org/2012/ .  We have organised a new clinical update session covering Management of Osteoporosis/ Chronic Kidney Disease and Bone.  The main programme - http://www.ectscongress.org/2012/prog/outlineprogramme.pdf covers a diverse number of topics covering pre-clinical, translational and clinical aspects of bone and related issues.   We have plenty of activities planned for New Investigators - http://www.ectscongress.org/2012/prog/newinvmain.htm so whatever your interest we have something planned for everyone!
