Implementers Meeting Updates

  • Discussion around having one meeting per year focused on implementer and then satellite meetings at different points in the year
  • Participants in the 2010 Implementers Meeting said it was beneficial to have the conference so close to the time of Medinfo.
    • Ideal to replicate this
      • Propose to set up the conference around the same time as HELINA 2011
        • Conference should also occur in a location easily accessible for individuals within Africa and also individuals coming from outside Africa

Follow up with Paul on Board of Directors
