17th International Congress on Infectious Diseases

<strong>17th</strong> INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON INFECTIOUS DISEASES
ISID Business Meeting
The ICID, held every 2 years, is the main opportunity for the Society’s membership to come together. It is
then that members can actively exchange ideas concerning the ISID and its activities with representatives
of the Executive Committee and Council. Your input is important and your contributions are appreciated.
We would like to invite all members to participate in the Business Meeting, which will take place on
Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 12:45hrs Room G.05-06 (Ground Floor). During this meeting, members will
vote on the composition of the Executive Committee and Council for the period 2016–2018. You will hear
reports from various officers concerning the ongoing activities of the Society, and you will be able to
voice your suggestions and concerns. A light lunch will be provided. We hope you will attend this
important meeting.
