Welcome to the newest Chapter of the ACC

by Richard Kovacs August 30, 2010 06:27

Serendipitously timed for ESC 2010: Saudi Arabia has applied for, and been recommended for, Chapter status by the ACC executive committee. Saudi Arabia will become the 8th ACC International Chapter with many additional countries already having expressed interest in Chapter formation.  The opportunity for “Twinning” and other collaborations between ACC domestic and International chapters will continue to grow. Additionally, ACC national is engaged in educational partnerships, registry development, research collaborations and many other exciting initiatives with its international chapters.

Welcome Saudi Arabia!
