Dear IGALA members
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The Executive Committee of IGALA will be meeting at the upcoming 13th IGALA conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, 23–25 July 2025, and we would like to invite members to suggest agenda items that you think would further the aims of IGALA at this
important historical juncture.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We will also be inviting all members who can attend the IGALA conference to our biennial business meeting, where we will be able to raise issues directly as a community and be part of charting a way forward.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please get in touch with me to share your proposals!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
