This is the last FERMA newsletter of 2011. We are at the close of one year and at the beginning of a new one. It is a good time to look what we did during this year, but more important to see what is ahead of us in 2012. 

Florence Bindelle, Executive Manager

It is amazing to see how FERMA has changed this year. The activities we have been involved in have never been so numerous: the Forum, a completely renewed website, the new logo, social media, European representation, new members… And there will be more in 2012. It used to be quiet for several months after a Forum, but those days are gone!

Increased cooperation between the FERMA team and all actors involved has made it all happen, and I thank all of them for their dedication.

For 2012 we are planning, among other things, to engage the membership and raise awareness among our communities though our growing social media presence, with thought leadership from board members and national presidents. We are revisiting the project list for next year to fulfill the expectations of our members. More will be revealed in the next edition. In the meantime, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
