Colleagues: In terms of the selected symposia for the SICB Annual Meeting in New Orleans, 2004, the Divisional Program Officers, John Pearse (past SICB Program Officer), Sue Burk, Lori Strong and I as the SICB Program Officer had our first Program Meeting Sept 28 and 29, 2002 in Toronto. At this meeting we fully completed the program for the meeting in Toronto that will be held Jan, 2003, and reviewed and decided on the symposia for New Orleans, Jan. 2004. All symposia proposals submitted for consideration were impressive and the Divisional Program Officers and others at our Program Meeting had an extremely difficult task in selecting symposia for the New Orleans meeting. Prior to our Program Meeting, all symposia were reviewed by the SICB Divisional Officers, Program Advisory Committee and Executive Committee and a ballot was provided in which the results were tabulated and comments were discussed at our recent program meeting. I do want to thank these people for their review and input into the process. This was a terrific group of symposia to review. We look forward to an outstanding program in New Orleans, 2004.
