It is important to record the development of our field and our Society. Otherwise, as time goes by, events, stories, anecdotes, even facts will be lost. Knowing where we come from and learning our past history will help ensure that the field learns from its successes and failures and aids in the progress that we all want to make to help our patients.

Therefore, the ISVCA council seeks an individual to serve as the ISVCA historian. This is a voluntary position, and the chosen individual will be charged with leading a group to author a series of articles covering VCA and the history of the ISVCA. These articles are to be sumbitted as special feature articles to Transplantation and Transplantation Direct.

If you are interested, please look for the corresponding email to this announcement and contact Patrik Lassus, ISVCA President.

You will recall that our congress program fell behind schedule on Sunday afternoon and our session on "Global Administrative Challenges in VCA" had to be cut short. The video presentations by Dr. Ken Kizer and Dr. Linda Cendales, which unfortunately could not be shown in Helsinki, are now accessible within the members area of the ISVCA website.
