The This Subcommittee will need your help with the following:

Conferences and Workshops Subcommittee of the Education Committee
Interested in the world and the future? ISOQOL takes a long-term, strategic approach to planning its conferences, symposia and workshops, around the world and into the future. Want to learn about interesting places and meeting interesting people? Tasks include identifying and researching potential host cities and venues, and networking with local people who do or use QOL research. We need people from around the globe, including the Asia/Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, South and North America, Western and Eastern Europe; in short, a place near you!

Planning Committee for Collection and Dissemination of Educational Materials
ISOQOL members to serve on a planning committee for collection and dissemination of educational materials (lectures, workshop materials, etc.) that would increase the visibility of HRQOL in medical education. Tasks would include plans for identifying materials and proposals for dissemination (e.g. free on the ISOQOL Web site, income generating publications, etc.).

Become a Part of the Finance/Fundraising Committee
We are requesting members for participation in the finance/fundraising committee. This committee, under the leadership of the Treasurer, is involved with identifying and securing funds for ISOQOL-related activities. This involves direct fundraising, preparation of grant applications for foundations and government agencies, and further development and recruitment of institutional memberships.

Membership Committee Thought for the Day
Recruit one new member for ISOQOL before the Conference! Please think about your colleagues who are currently not members but who share an interest in the use of quality of life outcomes in research. Do you think you could convince any of these individuals to become an ISOQOL member? It never hurts to ask. Direct colleagues to the ISOQOL website (www/isoqol.org).

If you are attending another professional meeting that shares an interest in quality of life outcomes, please take along some brochures advertising ISOQOL. Contact the ISOQOL headquarters for an electronic file of the brochure (info@isoqol.org). All of these efforts will help us increase our membership. And by the way, if you would like to be a member of the ISOQOL Membership Committee, please contact the ISOQOL office at info@isoqol.org. We’d be most pleased to have your help.
