We would like to thank Lara Boyd and Doris Doudet for agreeing to serve as the 2017 Local Organizing Committee Chair and Co-Chair respectively on such short notice. Although there were financial implications associated with moving the meeting, Council remains confident the decision was the right one especially given the most recent news which points to a skyrocketing spread of the disease in Puerto Rico. You may recall that Puerto Rico was previously announced as the 2017 venue however, after much discussion and careful consideration, Council made the decision to move the meeting to Vancouver due to the travel advisories and health threats connected to the presence of the Zika Virus in Puerto Rico.

We experienced beautiful weather in a city surrounded by mountains and still managed to have amazing attendance and participation (even overflowing at times) at the sessions and keynotes. New initiatives were announced and others were brought forward for consideration in the coming year.
