Growth of Health Economics and Scheduling iHEA

The iHEA board decided at its July 2009 meeting in Beijing to seek out the opinions of the membership to help guide us in making strategic decisions regarding future meetings. To that end, we will be sending out a survey and “request for comments” to all members shortly. We hope that you will be willing to share your thoughts with us to help make iHEA and other health economics organizations better able to meet the exciting challenges of future growth. We have included some background information through the iHEA web site at http://www.healtheconomics.org

ASHEcon Reminders

Early Bird deadline for registration at the ASHEcon conference at Cornell is coming up shortly. As the deadline is a Sunday, February 28, 2010, we will extend it until the end of day Monday, March 1, 2010.
