The ISHRS may use the Global Council to assess specific member needsof a particular country, to assess trends, and to determine ways to attract new members from the various countries.
Member societies may wish to work together on future educational programs or help each other in promoting their meetings (e.g. swapping mailing labels, listing each others meetings in society newsletters and website, exchanging website links.
