ISEP requests regional representatives to notify colleagues from the educational community within physiotherapy about the opportunity for membership of ISEP. Regional Representatives will also report on educational conferences attended and post information about future conferences to encourage membersí participation. Regional Representatives have a role in transmitting issues discussed in their respective educational communities to the officers and posting inquiries to the membership. Representatives are encouraged to meet in their regions between ISEP meetings. Hopefully there will be an open discussion board on the ISEP website very soon.
The participant from
ISEP is seeking subgroup status at the invitation of WCPT. Information about this is already posted on the web page. Members at the General Meeting encouraged the new Executive Committee to finalize details of this status. These details will be determined by the officers, in discussion with the membership via e-mail and the web page. The goal will be to find a method to retain membership for non-WCPT members and revise ISEP bylaws to enable subgroup status. The current individual membership fees of $25 US/ 20Euros will be retained. Dues/membership fees are valid for membership until 2007.
