| Dear Presidents, dear IFAPP delegates, So, this will be my last President letter; as you know, in about two weeks in Geneva Christopher Allen will become the new IFAPP President, and he will get the task of maintaining regular contacts with all of you. These two years have been a very busy period, and as frequently happens they flew away very quickly! First, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support to IFAPP, and to me; thanks to the members of the Executive Committee, who helped me in the various activities and tasks, thanks to the IFAPP delegates who contributed to IFAPP growth, thanks to ICPM country champions who stimulated the participation to the forthcoming ICPM in Geneva, and finally a big thanks also to our secretarial office efficiently managed by Caroline van Bruggen in Mijdrecht. Secondly, let me apologize if I missed some expectations: I did my best, but certainly there is room for improvement, and I am sure that the next President will do it better. We are now somewhat worried and disappointed about registrations to Geneva ICPM: it is indeed a pity that not so many colleagues will take advantage of attending the Conference, which is really a top quality event. Let me ask for a final effort from all of you; we still do hope that several last minute registrations will appear! And your support for this will be highly appreciated. Finally, let me inform all of you that IFAPP continues to grow; after the affiliation of the National Association from Romania, we are now in contact with four more countries. Bulgaria, Hungary, Singapore and Turkey have already, or are now establishing, a National Association, and they have already contacted IFAPP for affiliation. So, shortly IFAPP will represent 31 National Associations: a significant result. I do hope to see many if not all of you in Geneva on September 19-22: remember that ICPM is the most important IFAPP event, and I will be extremely pleased to welcome all of you in Geneva. Best personal regards, and many thanks for supporting IFAPP. Domenico Criscuolo |
