We encourage you to forward this email to interested colleagues and contacts and inform your associates of IMI programs or notify us of any industry contacts whom you think should be aware of these programs.

Please feel free to email, fax or call me if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or to discuss any aspect of these programs or other IMI activities.

We hope to see you or a colleague at an upcoming IMI program.
