Dear Friends and Colleagues:

 

            We've all probably fallen victim to it at some point.  Another year, another data point, another presentation or poster to justify the travel expenses to yet another meeting.  I know I’ve suffered from "meeting fatigue" and been guilty of just going through the motions once or twice in the past (although I refuse to admit where or when).  With grants to write, courses to prepare and teach, journal papers to publish and administrators to fight, who has time for one more meeting?  At least most large professional scientific societies can attract attendees by virtue of an exotic and desirable location.  But Cleveland, well, in Cleveland you need something more.  The meeting itself needs to be the draw, so you have to do something to make it special.

 

            This is exactly what the organizing committed attempted to do with IFESS 2001.  As the hosts of the first meeting of the organization in the new millennium, we set out to make the scientific program and the entire experience special, memorable, and of lasting value.  These proceedings are one record by which you can gage our success.  If we’ve been successful then this volume should become indispensable, dog-eared, and well-creased from use.  It should be the first place you look for a citation or reference to innovative work, and tempt you to violate the copyright by duplicating it liberally, and maybe even build excerpts from it into your teaching curricula.  At the very least, we sincerely hope that it is worth the excess baggage charges the airlines will tack on to your fare for the added weight it represents in your luggage.

 

            But we're not taking any chances.  This compendium isn't the only written record of our meeting.  It captures only original, at-large submissions reviewed and approved for inclusion by the Scientific Program committee.  The six invited "Millennium Papers", those forward looking position statements identifying the major challenges facing the field which were to be presented orally during the conference, do not appear.  They've been compiled and published in a special issue of Neuromodulation, now the official journal of IFESS.  Similarly the three "Special Sessions" (on the interaction of FES with neural plasticity and repair, emerging clinical application of FES, and consumer perspectives on neuroprostheses) have been captured and distilled into articles to appear in a special issue of The Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development. Special enough?  The editorial boards of two leading journals in the field think so.  We hope you do, too.

 

The people who really struggled to make IFESS 2001 special aren't all listed with the organizing committee on the previous page, or on the conference program or even the table of contents of these proceedings.  Laura Polacek, Cathy Walker, Merien Washington, Donna Tamulewicz, Sue Kalas, Kath Bogie, Ken Gustafson, Ron Hart, Jon Gray, and many, many others all deserve your thanks and gratitude.  But no one deserves it more than Jeanne Teeter who saw this through from its inception and kept us sane, solvent and on schedule in a most professional manner.

 

Memorable?  You bet. Special?  No question.  Indispensable? Absolutely.  Just another meeting?  I think not.
