We are pleased to welcome Todd Brandow to CIMAM
"I always appreciate talking with colleagues about common interests, learning about their projects and sharing about ours, also discussing the burning issues of our time. I imagine all of these things taking place at CIMAM gatherings. These discussions as well as the personal relationships that come from sharing such group experiences, I imagine, will contribute to my development over the years. I am also eager to meet some of CIMAM's younger members, as I think it would be very inspiring."
