September 2018
This is my last President’s Message, and I would like to thank you for the privilege of serving as the President of IASP. It has truly been an honor. It has been such a pleasure getting to know many of you and working with such an impressive, dedicated group of volunteers. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many volunteers, including those who put in countless hours on our Council, committees, working groups, and task forces. Our organization is indeed rich in talent, dedication, and passion.
