US/ICOMOS would like to express its appreciation to its 2002 partner
ICOMOS National Committee who contributed to the immense success of
this year's program by sending young preservation professionals to

ICOMOS National Committees of Australia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, China,
Croatia, Cuba, Georgia, Hungary, India, Lithuania, Malta, Panama,

extends its gratitude to all institutions and the individuals in them
who worked hard on this year's program.

US/ICOMOS also thanks the many donors who every year ensure the
financial stability and growth of the International Summer Intern
