PLEASE DISTRIBUTE
Dear Colleague:
On behalf of WORLD INFORMATION TRANSFER, I have the honor of inviting you to
our TENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT: GLOBAL
PARTNERS FOR GLOBAL SOLUTIONS, April 25 to 27, 2001 at the United Nations,
co-sponsored by the Governments of Greece and Ukraine and co-chaired by
Children of Chornobyl Relief Fund.. The theme this year is ECONOMICS OF
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT and will focus on how economic policy can promote or
derail health and environment globally. Since April 26th is the 15TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHERNOBYL tragedy, this day will be devoted to examining
the consequences of this catastrophe and the implementation of preventive
measures.
As you may be aware, our conferences, held at the United Nations since 1992,
are widely acclaimed for their quality of presentations and participants. You
will notice from the attached conference agenda that the program contains
important subjects and many distinguished speakers.
We would be honored if you are personally able to attend our conference. We
would also like to extend this invitation to others whom you feel will
benefit from learning about this very important topic.
Although our conference is free, due to very strict security requirements at
the United Nations, you must register in advance by e-mail or fax only.
This letter will serve as your invitation, so please fill in your response
below and mail or fax it to us by April 2nd, 2001.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christine K. Durbak, Chair
