International Child Neurology Associaton
Newsletter September 2009
This edition of the Newsletter has been delayed to include details of the ICNA Executive Board Meeting held in Kyiv, Ukraine on 8-9 September, 2009. Some important changes to the electoral process were agreed upon, and it is hoped that the ICNA Membership will endorse these to produce a more equitable electoral process.
This is the third edition of the Newsletter to be distributed electronically via email and ICNApedia, and not by paper copy. I wrote letters last time to a small number of members who did not have email addresses, offering to send paper copies but none requested these. If you are aware of any members who cannot access the Newsletter, please inform me on their behalf. Our list of emails is at times incorrect, and it is vital that you notify the Treasurer or me if you change your address or if you fi nd you can access this only by ICNApedia.
I remain committed to publishing details of all National and Regional Conferences and Activities. Please inform me of any such matters. There is an excellent article in this issue on Child Neurology in Turkey by Banu Anlar and Haluk Topaloglu.

 This 11th International Congress of Child Neurology will convene a large international faculty with recognized expertise in a wide array of disciplines within Child Neurology spanning the breadth of the topics from ’ cell to cognition’ and highlighting underlying basic pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment strategies. The faculty will present novel and current aspects of the ‘cutting edge’ science and ‘art’ of Child Neurology, including a global perspective on the significant burden of neurological diseases in the Developing World.
The programme is designed for physician practitioners, clinical and basic scientists, trainees, nurses, speech therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, and other allied health care professionals within the field of Child Neurology and Neurosciences. We look forward to your participation in this exciting, comprehensive, and highly interactive program.
