Regional Groups and Networks

From the very beginning, ITI members have sought to form groups based on regional, language and specialist lines. Currently, ITI has regional groups that span the United Kingdom, such as the ITI Scottish Network and ITI London Regional Group. Language groups such as the German Network, French Network (FrNet) and Japanese Network (J-Net), as well as subject-based networks such as STEP and infotech, maintain lively internet-based groups for purposes such as the clarification of terminological queries, discussion of best practice, sharing work, and organizing social events within what is often seen as a solitary profession.

Famous quotes containing the words groups and/or networks:

    Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?
    Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
