The 17^th Annual General Assembly and ISES Honors and Awards of Excellence have been combined into one event for 2010 and will be held on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 beginning with ISES Luncheon at 1:00 PM at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona (in conjunction with the International Congress on Endovascular Interventions meeting held that week).

Combining the events during the Society’s General Assembly/Annual Meeting makes the event more accessible to all ISES members who are in Arizona and be able to participate in paying tribute to those members and/or individuals who will be honored for their service to ISES and JEVT, the peripheral vascular profession/community and for their impact on education.  What better opportunity for all members of the organization to participate and celebrate member accomplishments and as a successful organization.

We invite all members of the Society to attend the midday luncheon and event as is always a benefit of your valued membership in the Society.  Guests are welcome and may attend the luncheon with the purchase of a ticket for $40 USD which needs to be purchased through the ISES office or at the ISES booth at the Phoenician Hotel prior to the event.  A partial list of agenda items for the 17^th Annual General Assembly Meeting and ISES Honors and Awards of Excellence include: 

• Reports from the ISES President and Chairman
• Council and Committee Reports
• Information about the Global Education and ISES Education and Research Institute activities
• Presentation of the 11^th Annual ISES Endovascular Research Awards (competition between the six finalists held the day prior during the Endovascular Research Forum)
• ISES and JEVT Milestone Awards for those members celebrating their 5, 10, and 15 year anniversaries with the Society or with the the JEVT Editorial Board
