Welcome to your September update from the World Muscle Society

With just days to go until we meet again, this time in Prague, Czechia, for WMS 2024, I wanted to bring you some important WMS updates. 

The first important thing to mention is that this time next year we will be holding our Executive Board elections. The elections take place every three years. To qualify as a candidate, you must have been a member of the WMS for the previous 12 months.

As many of our memberships run annually, if you are interested in helping shape the future of the WMS by standing for election to the Executive Board, it's worth checking your membership status.

Many members of our current Executive Board will be attending WMS 20024 in Prague, so please take the opportunity to talk to them about their experiences if you are interested in putting yourself forward. We will be sharing more information nearer the time. 
 

To help all delegates navigate the Congress, we have created our Congress Guide. You'll find a link to the Guide in the WMS 2024 section of this newsletter and I recommend you take a look. We are also sharing our Duchenne Awareness Day story with you along with another member interview and a summary of the recent AOMC-JMS Conference, which we supported through our Project Proposals process. It's a useful reminder that there is always a lot going on across the WMS.

I hope to see many of you in Prague and look forward to hearing about what you are all working on.
