USSD News
USSD Board of Directors has approved the formation of an ad-hoc committee to explore hosting an ICOLD Annual Meeting by the end of this decade. One of the initial goals is to gain support from ICOLD member countries, including the ICOLD National Committees of the Americas (INCA), as well as the ICOLD Board and staff. In previous years, USSD has successfully organized social events to gather international support for significant milestones such as the nomination of Mike Rogers to serve as ICOLD President and, more recently, the nomination of Dean Durkee to serve as ICOLD VP at-large.
