Dear members,
So much has happened over the last year in these unprecedented times and I wanted to give you an update on SESA’s activities and operations since the new SESA Executive Committee started in July 2020.
At our last General Meeting (June 2020), I outlined four broad objectives for SESA for the next two years:
