Re: OBSA 2023 (2 conferences)

[OBSA Mail]

Malo le soifua, dear colleagues. Here are two matters to note, as you plan for the Kanana Fou OBSA in Apr 5-7

(1) Please send proposals & registrations at your earliest convenience. The forms for both OBSA 2023 conferences may be downloaded at this link

(2) Please check the information below (from Talofa Airways) to see if you need a permit to American Samoa (depending on your passport). Let Elekosi know if you need a permit, and KFTS will organize that with the authorities. You will need to send your itinerary & photo page of your passport for that purpose

Dear OBSA friends, this is the "last call" for proposals.

After this week, the Kanana Fou team will set and distribute a draft of the program.

If you have decided to attend, it is not too late to submit a proposal.

Manuia!
