Health Communication Division
2010 Preconference
The Health Communication Division will sponsor a 1-day preconference, "Health Communication Campaigns: Issues and Strategies in Asia, Australia, and Southeast Asia" at the 2010 ICA conference. The preconference will be hosted by the Singapore Health Promotion Board and the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication at Nanyang Technological University on 22 June at the Singapore General Hospital. The preconference will be organized around recent reviews of theoretical perspectives and data on the success of health communication campaigns and on differences in the ways health communication programs are funded, planned, implemented, monitored and evaluated in the Asia/ Australia region. A call for abstracts for presentations at the preconference will be issued on the ICA and Division websites and distributed to all Division members. A preconference registration fee of $100 will cover lunch and coffee/tea breaks, and participant packets. All Division members are urged to attend.

Visual Communication Division
Dear VCS members,
It is with great pleasure that I can announce the results of the most recent ICA elections.
Effective immediately Michael Griffin (Macalester College) assumes the position of Vice-Chair (and thus Chair-Elect) of the Visual Communication Studies Division and Jelle Mast (University of Antwerp) was elected to the position of Division Secretary. Michael is one of the founders of the VCS Division and a former Chair. Jelle is a bright young scholar who has been active in the VCS division for several years now. Please join me in wishing both people a lot of success with their new assignment.
Special thanks to our outgoing Division Secretary Mary Bock for doing a great job in the past few years!
The proposal to increase the membership fee from $3 to $6 also was approved by the majority of voters. Many thanks for casting your votes!
Looking forward to your paper submissions for Singapore!
