Regional Advisory Councils

In 2002, SCF invited a number of former participants of the IPMS to serve on Regional Advisory Councils. The response was very positive and RACs now exist in each region of the world. A full listing of the Councils is included below.

The task of the RACs is twofold. First of all, RAC members help us identify and select participants for each year's Programme. RAC-evaluations help us indicate the best potential participants to our sponsors. Secondly, RAC members stimulate initiatives in the region to organise training programmes and advise SCF about possible training venues.
