As previously advertised in our February newsletter the board was planning an event in place of the 2008 OAP and annual meeting during the Aerospace Medicine Association Conference in Boston in May.
Due to deployments, and unforeseen certain personal issues this event has been cancelled. In regards to board elections, I am in discussion presently with our Society Secretary, COL Stephen Bernstein. Information as it becomes available will be listed on the website and emailed to all members.
As a reminder the next MICE conference will be held in Galveston, TX - February 2-6, 2009. Information on the conference will be on the society’s website: https://www.trueresearch.org/sousafs
