IASP Council Approves Purchase of New Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Central Office Will Move from Seattle by End of 2012

The Council of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) is pleased to announce the purchase of a new central office in Washington, D.C. By the end of 2012, IASP plans to move from its office in Seattle. The move is part of an overall strategy to realize IASP's strategic goals and strengthen the Association's international position.

The new location in Washington, D.C., will provide an international setting, more direct flights to and from major regions of the world, and better access to other international associations similar to IASP. Washington, D.C. is a strategic hub that houses many international associations and non-governmental health organizations. As IASP grows and adds additional services and programs, it will benefit from the large number of professionals in the area with international health and association expertise.

The new office is the sixth floor of a nine-story office building, located centrally near other international headquarters such as the regional offices of the World Health Organization (WHO). Detailed transition plans and exact dates of the move will be announced later in the year. During the transition period, there will be no disruptions to service or to the 14th World Congress on Pain in August 2012.
