ICT for development SIG

By  | 6/16/2007 | Filed under: Public Policy, Technology

Greg Sales and Jayson Richardson are looking for support in building an “ICT4D” special interest group for the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) professional organization. A SIG would provide a mechanism that would bring together interested individuals to discuss and present on ICT issues.

In order to do this, they need to recruit a sufficient number of CIES members who are interested in such a SIG. The recruitment requires signed indications of commitment from a minimum of 15 members and a contribution to the $150 SIG start-up fee.

Interested people should contact Greg at gsales@sewardinc.com or Jayson at rich0687@umn.edu for a commitment letter and other information.
