I wish to draw your attention that ISSCT Executive Committee and Council have decided at the XXIX Congress that henceforth membership cards and receipts will no more be sent by post because this procedure is costly, most often delivery takes weeks and at times the cards and receipts get lost in the post.
You will need to quote your membership card number when you register for workshops and congress. You may use the original electronic copy to this end. In case you lose the membership card, please let us know and we will resend it to you.
Inadequate provision and failure to follow the procedures may delay registration considerably.
