Dear <<Title>> <<Last Name>>,
 
With 2021 in sight, comes the time to initiate or renew your membership of the Belgian Society of GI Endoscopy. The objectives pursued by our society are to support the development and quality of Belgian digestive endoscopy.

With your membership, you become member of a vibrant society, organizing at least two symposia in Belgium every year. We are dedicated to promote the education of our trainees, to provide you with the latest updates on “must-knows” in endoscopy-world. Moreover, with your membership, you help to build a stronger gastro-intestinal endoscopy society, which aims to optimize the care for your patient at your endoscopy suite and to continue the debate with the official instances in optimally defending a workable endoscopy unit.
 
We would like to remind you that there are many other benefits to becoming a member of BSGIE:

• Through the concept of BSGIE / ESGE dual membership, you will have access to the Endoscopy journal and discounts on ESGE-endorsed meetings
• Discounts on registrations at the different BSGIE-meetings
• Access to our various scholarships / grants
• Rewards for the best abstracts presented during the BWGE
• Access to the renovated website www.bsgie.be. You will find the presentations of our previous meetings, and an e-learning section where several guidelines, endoscopic classifications and scores can be found.

To renew or start your membership, please fill in the online application form on the BSGIE website  www.bsgie.be/members/join/ to enable us to keep our members list updated. Pay the amount due on the BSGIE account: IBAN: BE89 0013 4465 1685  – put as reference: Membership 2021 – Your name + Email.
 
Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December regardless of the membership application date. Trainees need to send a training certificate to the secretary, signed by their mentor.
 
The BSGIE also has a Facebook account where you can not only follow us but also send us your comments and suggestions.
 
We will be delighted to count you among us! We remain at your disposal to pursue together our primary goal: to stimulate the development and quality of digestive endoscopy in Belgium, even in these strange Covid-19 times!
 
Best regards
