Update to the ISSOTL Regions and Board

We are pleased to announce that, following our recent Annual Business Meeting at ISSOTL24, it has been approved that new regions—Latin America & the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa—will be formally represented in our organization. This decision reflects our commitment to fostering inclusiveness and ensuring that our organization is positioned to reflect the full diversity of our community. By welcoming these regions, we aim to enhance our collective impact, broaden perspectives, and strengthen our capacity to serve and represent all members effectively. We look forward to the progress this initiative will bring as we continue to build a more representative organization.

Melanie Hamilton, 2024-2025 ISSOTL President
