Dear all, The ccNSO Study Group on Capacity Building is now searching for further volunteers to participate in its work.

Any volunteer is expected to actively participate in the work of the Study Group and invest about 1 hour/week on its work. This call is primarily aimed at all Councillors. If you are willing to contribute to the work of this Study Group, please, send me an email by 10 August 2012.
