Abstract

The International Education Committee (IEC), formerly the International Microbiological Education Committee (IMEC), held a strategic planning retreat from 26–27 August 2006 at ASM Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Participants traveled from across the United States and abroad to develop a new strategic plan for 2006–2009 that reflects the current educational and training needs of the international microbiological community. Newly appointed IEC Chair Linda Kenney led the retreat with the participation of 16 IEC members, board liaisons, committee chairs, officers, and ASM staff. The diverse background of attendees, representing seven countries including South Africa, India, Mexico, Argentina, Panama, China, and Nigeria, ensure the international microbiological community is effectively and appropriately served.
