User-Client Review Board Forming
During the Spring of 2011, a group of user-clients will be organized to form
the first ever Review Board.
Members of the review board will be involved in pre-publication review of
malaria risk maps and related
reference materials. Review board members will lend their unique
expertise to the review process and
will receive access to new, revised and updated materials prior to
publication. Adrienne will be working
with the review board through the Spring so that reviewers are fully
prepared for the anticipated
publication of the 2012 Edition of the CDC Health Information for
International Travel (Yellow Book)
Participation in the review board is open to clients in good standing that
have implemented the most
recent
updates (at the time of review). Review board members should anticipate
participating in
several
conference
calls during the next few months and receiving training on review processes
and
documentation.
If you
or your colleagues are interested in participating on our review board,
please email Adrienne
with
each person's name, email address, and phone number(s).
