All
Just to confirm what Frank mentioned that PacInet has grown dramatically in
the region over the last few years. There was so much interest in the region
especially when we have international speakers. People have travelled as far
as PNG to Cook Islands just to attend the one week session. A lot more could
have attended if they have available funding. This is our major challenge
for attendance.
Thank you for considering to assist us in one way or another. If possible,
can you help us find funding for fellowships for our next PacInets?
Kind Regards
Andrew
Acting Vice Chair
PICISOC
