Message from the ISSA Committee

                           July 2009

The Commitee have agreed that the unprecedented events of the last 2 years commencing with the outbreak of Equine Influenza, the devastating natural disasters in as much as the Victorian Bushfires, the Queensland and New South Wales Floods, and the current Economic Crisis, have caused a lot of financial hardship to a lot of our members. 

We would like to acknowledge the support of our existing members by giving something back in return via a free membership for the year 1st July 2009 to 30th June 2010.

We hope this small gesture relieves some of the pain and suffering that the above events may have caused to our members and look forward to a brighter future for our industry.

This offer was given to financial members for the period

1st July 2008 - 30th June 2009.

Kees Wientjens:                President

Lyn Spiers-Kendall:           Registrar
