How to contribute to AIDA Mail


1. Introduction
   
 Welcome to the relaunched AIDA Mail. AIDA Mail has been redesigned for the 21st Century, along with the AIDA Website - www.aida.org.uk. AIDA Mail will now be circulated electronically to all AIDA Members and other interested parties who register their details via the website. This will ensure that in future AIDA Mail is received instantaneously by all, wherever they are located. Another major advantage to these changes will be in the content of AIDA Mail. As you will see in this issue, we are now able to use colour, photographs and electronic links.

In this first all electronic issue we preview the forthcoming AIDA World Congress, a major milestone for AIDA, and our first World Congress to the US.

All 10 Active Working Parties are holding meetings at the World Congress, and details of some are included herein. We are also pleased to include a report on The British Insurance Law Association's (BILA) Colloquium, which took place in May this year.

"Steve Acunto and Vince Vitkowsky of the US Chapter, co-organisers of the World Congress, discuss the plans for New York with Michael Rosemejer, AIDA President, and Colin Croly, Secretary General, at the recent AIDA Presidential Council meeting.

Finally, attention is drawn to the section at the end of this AIDA Mail entitled "How to contribute to AIDA Mail". AIDA Mail depends upon contributions from AIDA Chapters, Working Parties and individuals. All AIDA members are encouraged to contribute. Your contribution will reach a wide audience across the globe, and now, via the internet, and will do much to publicise the very hard work that the AIDA Chapters undertake.
