In integral part of this meeting ins the ISA Honours & Awards Gala Banquet when the members honour their peers. The ISA Ireland Section won an award as a recognition of the work put in by the Section Committee in organising and hosting the
FPID Symposium in Cork during March 2016. This was the first time that this symposium was held outside of North America.
Additionally the FPID Division itself won an award as well. André Michel from Canada, the Division Director, collected this award. He was one of the main organisers of this symposium from the other side of the Atlantic.
