[IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] Invitation to IUFRO Division 7 (Forest Health) meeting to discuss future conference plans, changes in coordinators, etc.

Dear friends and colleagues, During the IUFRO congress in Curitiba next week, we will have a meeting to discuss future conference plans, proposals for new working parties, changes in coordinators and other important topics. Everybody with an interest in forest health, tree pathology and entomology and our activities in this space is warmly invited. The meeting will take place on Friday, 4 October, from 17:30 to 19:20 (i.e., 5:30 - 7:20 pm) in Room R07 - Wing 2. This is just before the Gala Dinner and transport to the dinner venue will be available. We used to refer to these meetings as 'Business Meetings' but at this congress it is called an 'Administrative Meeting'. Despite the name, this will be of interest to all scientists participating in working parties and their conferences in the forest health area, and we will try our best to make it 'interesting'. Please let me know if you have any agenda items you would like to contribute. We hope you can attend the meeting on Friday evening and look forward to seeing you. Finally, please note, the earlier meeting on Tuesday, 1 October, from 12:00 to 12:50 in Room R03 - Wing 3, of the pathology and entomology Research Groups will not take place as it clashes with concurrent poster sessions. Please contact me if you have any questions.
