I’m
hoping many on this discussion list will consider submitting a proposal to
ISAAC 2012. ALS/MND Awareness Day at ISAAC 2012 is Thursday 2
August. Please, start getting your proposals ready! If
you’re not inclined to by a presenter, then consider attending.
ISAAC 2012 has a special introductory registration rate that will become
available when registration opens in October and extends only until January
31st.
Thank
you for your consideration.
