The ILC chair works closely with the INS Board of Directors and supervises the ILC web site which is maintained by staff. In addition, the chair corresponds with regional representatives from around the world and answers inquiries from international neuropsychology professionals.This position has the potential to be developed in new directions and to be both personally and professionally rewarding.

Charles Matthews Support Fund
for Speakers and Videoconferences
The ILC has launched an initiative to sponsor small regional conferences on neuropsychological topics in non-North American countries, especially South America, Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe.
This project will support both invited speakers and videoconferences.
One of the purposes of this endeavor is to promote neuropsychology in regions where INS members and potential members may be geographically distant from INS conferences and thus attending INS conferences is an economic hardship.
The ILC also hopes to promote continuing education for neuropsychologists in these same regions.
Videoconferencing is one very economical possibility in areas where the technical equipment is available. This technology allows a speaker to lecture from his or her home base to a remote audience that can actually see, hear, and interact with the speaker. In this way, current developments in neuropsychology can be made available to professionals in remote regions.
Please contact Dr. Bernice Marcopulos at Bernice.Marcopulos@wsh.dmhmrsas.virginia.gov
