LASA VIRTUAL Este trimestre tuvimos que tomar la decisión de caminar únicamente hacia un congreso virtual. Si bien la existencia de la vacuna nos permite ver una luz al final del túnel sabemos que... pasarán varios meses hasta alcanzar una cobertura amplia. No era posible imaginar que nuestra membresía pueda desplazarse de manera segura a Vancouver, no solamente por los problemas sanitarios sino también por la escasez de recursos y las exigencias de visado. Sabemos que nada remplaza un congreso presencial y esperamos que en el 2022 podamos nuevamente encontrarnos en persona https://forum.lasaweb.org//vol52-iss/Presidents-Letter.pdf
