For some time, there have been ongoing discussions about the inclusion of patient organizations within ISSVA, including a possible role on the board. Following Caroline\u2019s presentation, it became clear that the majority of attendees were not in favor of allowing patient organizations to join the ISSVA board.\r\n<h2>Booth<\/h2>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-71816 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Booth-ISSVA-2025-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Booth-ISSVA-2025-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Booth-ISSVA-2025.jpg 523w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-71824 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ISSVA-2025-patient-partnership-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ISSVA-2025-patient-partnership-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ISSVA-2025-patient-partnership-1024x607.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ISSVA-2025-patient-partnership-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cmtc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ISSVA-2025-patient-partnership.jpg 1153w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\r\n<p data-start=\"56\" data-end=\"333\">The ISSVA organization is increasingly giving patient organizations a voice.
