On behalf of the WFSBP leadership, I hope you have enjoyed a relaxing summer and that this new academic year is starting off positively after a well deserved break.

The Presidents and Representatives of the distinguished National Societies are warmly invited to attend the National Presidents' Meeting on 16 October 2007 at 15:30 - 16:30 in room U2DEE7 (Level -1), taking place during the 20^th ECNP Congress in Vienna (13 - 17 October 2007). I look forward to meeting you personally for an informal Get-Together and to further deepen our fruitful collaboration.

Please make sure to find some time during your stay in Vienna to visit the WFSBP booth where our staff will be pleased to present to you more details about the developments of our Federation and the upcoming WFSBP 2009 Paris Congress.

Sincerely yours,

Siegfried Kasper, MD
