ITSA PRESIDENT’S REPORT & BOARD OF DIRECTORS – Neil Schuster

Neil wanted to thank everyone for creating a great program at Annual Meeting in Palm
Springs, CA. That we only have 60 days until the meeting starts. It looks like it is going
to be a great meeting.

Neil also wanted to thank everyone for their help with Beijing World Congress. He stated
that we did a late push for papers. The Initial showing was kind of embarrassing, but
getting the word out through the forums really helped. He stated that we got about 40
papers at the last minute, to bring the total to 120. It puts us in a better position to be
represented in Beijing.

World Congress 08 – Mike Noblit

Mike stated that nothing has really changed since the last meeting except for getting
down into details about what actual VII demonstrations we can do in the routes that we
have planned.
 Mike also stated they are in the process of upgrading the World Congress video, and that
if you needed a copy you can let Steve Kuciemba know ad he would provide one for you.
