NEWSLETTER INLA UPDATE – NO. 3 (9) – WINTER, 2017
Season’s Greetings
Dear members, colleagues and friends:
At this festive time of the year, I would like to share a few words of appreciation
and thanks. It takes a very diverse, interested and dedicated group of people to
create and maintain an organization such as the International Nuclear Law
Association (INLA) . We are very blessed to have such a group.
The people in the spotlight and in particular, those working behind the scenes
remind us how much of a difference each of us can make by doing our small part.
Collectively, we are helping to improve the nuclear legal landscape worldwide,
whether in education or as an agent for insight amongst governmental agencies
public and private institutions.
As we prepare for a new year and a new Congress, I personally would like to thank
those who have devoted years to this endeavor with an eye on remaining relevant
and useful to the nuclear law community. I would also like to welcome our many
newcomers listed below and thank you for your interest and contribution. You are
the future of INLA and we are proud to have you with us.
Warm regards to you and family,
Jacques!
