Happy birthday Echo!
You are reading the number hundred and one (no. 101) edition of our bulletin Echo.
Just over four years ago, on 27th March 2006, the first untitled edition was published (Fig. 1 on the left). The title Echo appeared on the second edition on 10th April 2006 (Fig. 1 in the centre). Today (see Fig. 1 on the right), the layout is slightly different, but the structure of each edition has remained more or less the same: an editorial informing you of the important issues, followed by articles on club life, cultural activities (exhibitions and conferences), information from GAC-EPA, and special offers for our members.

Echo was created in March 2006 when, much to our regret, CERN official communication and that of your representatives were separated. November 2009 saw a return to normal practice, and since then the CERN staff is once again informed of life in the Organization via a single medium, an old tradition of more that forty years.
This is true for the electronic version, however we are still working on a new format for the paper version of both bulletins. They will also both be joined together in one publication.
Accompanied by complementary information on our web site (http://association.cern.ch), each editorial in Echo aims to shed light, from a more political point of view, on the essential items of the news from the Staff Association.
Do not hesitate to contact us with your suggestions to further improve communication between us.
