Can anyone help - I've heard that a global network might be established in Australia, but none of my fellow australian ASTD members seem to know anything about this.

There's a pretty active local training network through the Australian Institute for Training and Development, and I thought it might be an extension of this, but again this has been ruled out too. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Hello

Yes the Australian Global Network was kaunced in Sydney on 2 May. I am Chairperson on the Interim Steering Committee and we would love you to join us. My phone number is 61-2-89202261 or 0414 399 880.

Talk to you soon

Kind regards

Marie
