Dear IUFRO Division 2 Officeholders:
Please take a good look at the attached “1st Announcement and call of abstracts for the FIRST IUFRO-FORNESSA REGIONAL CONGRESS” and “the Congress poster” that will be held in Nairobi, Kenya (25 – 30, JUNE 2012). I strongly feel that this meeting could offer Division 2 a platform to show our latest research ideas as well as an opportunity to interact on a personal level and discuss/plan Division 2’s future directions.
It is also important to note that the IUFRO Board will also be meeting during this time, so this will provide a rare chance to interact with the Board and share our ideas. Santiago Gonzalez-Martinez and I will act as the contact people for organizing Division 2 session. So, please send this e-mail to your mailing list and encourage members participation. Kenya is a fantastic place to visit and we rarely get the chance to go to Africa.
Please let Santiago and I of your plans and if you intend to attend and contribute an oral or a poster presentation to this meeting. At this stage, we will not restrict ourselves to a particular theme and will endeavour to make it complementary to the Congress theme.
I look forward to hearing from you all and I can’t say how excited I am about this rare opportunity.
Take care,
Yousry El-Kassaby
Division 2 Coordinator
Dear All:
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I would like to thank the very few officers who submitted their Annual Report.
As you all know, my effectiveness as Division 2 Coordinator is merely a function of your cooperation, so please I urge you to submit your 2011 Annual Report. Please send an e-mail saying “there was no activity for my WP”, so I count you in my summary. It would be a great shame if I report no activities from your WP and in fact there is.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation,
Yousry El-Kassaby
