Notes from the Field



We realize that being on the front lines often is a lonely task with limited resources to achieve your goals.

As part of the Council's mission to build alliances and communicate ideas and best practices, we hope members in the field will take the opportunity to be part of the global discussion and debate.

Council members are invited to share best practices, cultural observations or just plain thoughts after a long day.
