#ISAPSFamily Reunion – Always a Joy to Come
Together, Reflect, and Move Forward

At our recent National Secretaries Meeting during the Olympiad World Congress in Singapore, we gathered in a workshop to look back, plan, and strengthen our mission: Aesthetic Education Worldwide^® for the safety of patients.

From Africa to the Americas, Asia to Europe, and the Middle East, our 91 National Secretaries and 24 Assistant National Secretaries are making a real global impact—a heartfelt thank you to all of them for their commitment and dedication.

During the meeting, ISAPS President Dr. Arturo Ramírez-Montañana honored five standout contributions with Awards of Commendation—one per region:

• Dr. Egi Isiwele (Africa) for bringing her country into ISAPS for the first time and setting a strong path forward.
  
  
• Drs. Alvaro Cansansao, Andre Ferrao Vargas & Marcelo Maino (Brazil, Americas) for record membership growth, new initiatives (including resident engagement), and endorsed meetings.
  
  
• Dr. Matthew Yeo (Asia) for his dedication and efforts in building Asia’s fast-growing member base. Special thanks were also extended to Dr. Dan Li (China) for enrolling numerous new members in under a year.
  
  
• Dr. Eija Suorsa (Europe) from Finland received the award for her outstanding work as a National Secretary in a region with many high performers.
  
  
• Dr. Hisham El Minawi (Egypt, Middle East) for his drive and enthusiasm in organizing ISAPS-endorsed events across the region. 

We also extend many thanks to the National Secretaries Chair and National Secretaries Assistant Chair, Drs.
