[NSRCA-discussion] CIAM Meeting Representation

[Derek Koopowitz]

That is true, Bill.  I was sent a letter by the AMA stating that travel
expenses would not be paid for and that I could attend if I paid for myself
or the NSRCA paid for me to attend.

I can only believe that this will only further isolate us (F3A) from the
rest of the world.  Yes, I'm still the rep to CIAM but face-to-face
meetings accomplish so much more than through email.  I had built up a
great relationship with the movers/shakers in F3A and now I feel that it
will be in jeopardy.
