The same content will be discussed in both meetings, as our goal is to share the latest information with a broad reach of our membership, including:

• The development of a new ISSDP prize for scholarship (including a financial gift)
• New MEMBERCLICKS membership software (more on that below)
• Forthcoming website additions
• ISSDP collaborative opportunities with the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime
• Mentoring opportunities

Members will be asked to register for a specific meeting in a separate email. Any items requiring voting of the membership will be announced during the meeting and then voted on via our new membership system. More details to come, but please hold a date!

The 14th ISSDP conference

The 14th ISSDP conference will be held in Aguascalientes, Mexico, June 2-4 2021.

The conference was initially planned for May 2020, but due to the public health risks from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the travel restrictions placed on many members and other conference attendees, and the risks of a second wave in late 2020, the conference has now been rescheduled for 2021.
