Between 6th and 7th of February 2024, a regular meeting of the USIC Board was held in Lyon. In the beginning, the current information of USIC President, Christophe Parel, General secretary, Miroslav Kaprálek and Treasurer, Peter Lienhard was discussed. The Chairman of the CTT, Sébastien Picca, reported on the conclusions of the meeting of the CTT commission in Sofia in January. The very good news is that USIC is active again after years of Covid. We have organized 6 international championships in 2023 and this year we have confirmed championships from the organizers in five sports, Volleyball, Marathon, Orienteering, Futsal and Badminton. 
In the next part of the meeting, the Board´s members discussed the preparation of the USIC General meeting, which will be held between 21st and 24th of May 2024 in Gaeta, Italy. At this General meeting, besides other points, elections will be held for USIC leadership positions and four members of the CTT will also be elected for the first time. The General Secretariat has been cooperating with colleagues from Italy on the organizational preparation of the General meeting. 
We would like to take this opportunity to ask you to comply with all deadlines in connection with the preparation of this event, especially registration for participation (February 16, 2024) and the sending of candidate proposals for the elections (April 21, 2024).

The Board´s members are looking forward to meet you.
