   ISAC 2008 elections and Education

   Cytometry Education of the membership of ISAC  is a key aspect of
   the ISAC organization. Course material that is found in textbooks,
   annual courses and "Current Protocols in Cytometry" is very valuable
   to the membership.
   These include both basic and advanced cytometry information.
   Additional education materials could contain many other aspects of
   cytometry, including lectures, workshops and areas of high interest
   (i.e. AIDS).

   The previous councils (2004-2008) has made the education issue one of
   it’s top priorities. Since the consistency of the council membership
   will
   change in May 2008 and council individuals that were involved in
   supervising this initiative may not be on the next council, it is
   critical now that this
   issue is discussed by the membership and the ISAC council as it needs
   to be implemented in the next few years for the general cytometry
   community and our ISAC society..

   For instance, how does the information presented at ISAC 2008 meeting
   in Hungary get disseminated to the entire membership of ISAC and the
   individuals that could not attend the meeting due to financial
   limitations.  What mechanisms will be enlarged by ISAC and put into
   place to
   inform our members of this valued scientific information?  Education
   of all its members ( new and old)  is a key initiative for ISAC.
   This education is not only for the novice but the mature scientist
   that has lived his entire professional life with Cytometry  issues.
