PIA/GATF--Two Associations, One Goal

By combining the resources, the PIA/GATF partnership can enable the association to grow its programs with existing and developing technologies, according to Ryan.

"The association will continue to develop programming that provides a competitive edge to members in the areas of management and technical education, governmental affairs, industry research and statistics and implementation of technology," he says. "The combined resources will allow us to develop innovative programming that can be delivered through distance education, the Internet or local programs."
