Welcome Message

Dear members, potential partners and IAAC friends:

As you know our institution is growing, the number of signatories to our MLA clearly indicates this and also the increased attendance in our Committees and Subcommittees.
The region is working very hard to get the extension of its international recognitions with ILAC and IAF.
Our presence in these international accreditation organizations increases in quality and quantity.
All this is gained through your permanent support in our meetings and on the work of exchanging and communication throughout the year. Also by the actions carried out in your respective countries.
In order to consolidate these successes and continue to grow, it is very important to keep the cooperation, dialog and consensus. Our annual Assemblies are a fundamental space for us to directly relate, see, mutually hear, discuss and agree.
Due to all this, I cordially invite all that has followed us in other opportunities and especially those who has experienced the first approximations with IAAC or who consider its action important in national, regional and international levels.
I wait you all in the beautiful Rio de Janeiro where our friends of Cgcre/Inmetro will receive us with the affect and cordiality that has always characterized them.


Beatriz L. Garcia
IAAC Chair
