“YOUR MEETING” BULLETIN

The “Your Meeting” Bulletin (YMB) is a reporting service from IISD that expands the services provided by the ENB to other meetings, such as conferences, workshops, symposia or regional meetings that would not be covered by the Bulletin. These initiatives are growing in scope and number and are providing increasingly important inputs into the policy-making process, and the outcomes of these important initiatives should be highlighted and made widely available to all interested parties. YMB provides a timely, professional, high-quality reporting service for these meetings and disseminates the information extensively via the Internet to our more than 75,000 subscribers. If you are interested in coverage of your meetings by YMB, please contact our YMB Managers, Leonie Gordon (leonie@iisd.org) or Robynne Boyd (robynne@iisd.org).
