Abstract :
We have started a new year, and at this time we always look back to see what we have done. It is time for evaluations, and I can tell you I am really satisfied with the accomplishments of our Administrative Commi t t e e (Ad- Com). It is also time for starting our work with renewed energy. One very important action item we decided last year was to start writing the Society´s Strategic Plan. During the last two months, we have been discussing the future of our society. In February each year, we hold our strategic meeting where the Officers and Editors-in-Chief discuss issues in a kind of brainstorming. A set of ideas come out of that meeting, and then the committee Vice Presidents, together with the members of their committees, will start implementing actions to obtain the desired results. No plan is useful if it is only a document without any metrics and periodical reviews. Our expectation is to make this plan very practical and useful to enhance the development of our members´ careers.
