  • International Operations Advisory Committee.  Members are invited to participate in the Institute’s International Operations Advisory Committee (IOAC) meeting on Tuesday, May 5th in the Institute’s DSCR, which begins at 8:00 a.m. with continental breakfast and will continue until approximately 12:00 p.m.  The International Committee and the IOAC will then have a joint lunch, followed by the International Committee meeting.
