Final Business Meeting on Friday of the Congress.. We would like your comments and suggestions to these to prepare us for the Concurrent Panel we will be presenting/holding in Nairobi at the Congress. At that Concurrent Panel we will be soliciting more input
and support not just for the Resolutions but for activity that would take place both prior to and during the Year as outreach and research efforts. </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
