The International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS) is committed to working with other organizations with like purpose to promote improved understanding and education of prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic diseases and other forms of cardiovascular disease. To achieve this aim, the IAS agrees to affiliate with other organizations and to work with them. This document describes the conditions of the affiliation agreement with the International Task Force for Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease. The IAS will consider participating in specific projects with your organization. The International Task Force for Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease may propose a joint action that will be considered by the Executive Committee of the IAS. The proposal should be made in writing to the President of the IAS. The IAS President will review the proposal with the IAS Executive Committee, and if approved, the President will communicate this approval to the chief officer of your organization. This agreement does not allow your organization to use the name or the logo of the IAS on any document other than that listed in the specific proposal. All materials bearing the logo or name of the IAS must be approved by the executive committee of the IAS prior to distribution. The affiliation agreement does not bind the IAS to participate in any joint activity between our two organizations other than that outlined in the proposal. The affiliation agreement does not bind the IAS to any financial commitments to the specific project nor to the International Task Force for Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties.
