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.
Another reminder to ALL presenters/chairs/discussants/organizers that the participant’s rate will no longer be available after March 1, 2010. After that time regular registration rates of $600 USD for 2010 members and $700 USD Non-Members will apply.
Health Economic Network/Social Science Research Network
