There are some really exiting activities going on in the European Region of ISA. In this edition some of the highlights will get special attention, but these will only show you the tip of the iceberg. Just to name a few: We are very happy with our new District Vice President, Mr. David Keast. I wish him all the best and he can rely on our support!

In Spain we have a new Section with nearly a hundred members within half a year. Congratulations to Mr. Francisco Diaz Andreu, the first Section President and his team.
The Regional Development Council is gearing to high potential areas, and formative Sections in many places including Wales, Turkey and Egypt.

The European Region is well presented in the Interkama/ISATECH 99 Steering Committee by participants from almost all national sections.

We're planning a European Region Workshop in May '99. This will be organised and hosted by our Spain Section. New to this event is a specially planned ISA Leadership training for the ISA Leaders and potential Leaders.

We have now a ISA European Region Office available to support all of the Sections and ISA members.

Unfortunately, there is far too much information to put in this one newsletter, however, the most important issue is that we can only prosper within ISA by the continuing efforts of the volunteer leadership and the many active members. Not only on Section level, but also on a "global" European level. In this way we are able to increase the Society's value to you and improve your membership benefits. So our motto is "Build for the Future, and do well today!"

Sincerely yours
Taco Coolen Chairman ISA European Region Council 1998-1999

New ISA Europe brochure
We now have an ISA Europe brochure available in English, French, German, Spanish and Russian. If you would like any, please email Suzy Garrod at the England Section Secretariat or the Netherlands Office.

Not in your language?
It could be!
We can supply colour printed brochures with no text on them, together with a template for the text. You can then overprint them locally in your own language. We can even print them for you if you want, but your section will have to help with the costs.

EuroXchange could carry your news item or your story in the next issue. Send contributions to David Keast, for consideration. Digitised photographs are particularly welcome!

If English is not your first language, don't worry, send your news anyway and we will help polish the English if you want us to.

We would especially like to have news of forthcoming major events such as conferences and exhibitions, and reports from recent events.
