This year we celebrated the receipt of our 50th application for national membership, and the number of affiliate memberships is now approaching 40. The annual contributions from our members ensure that we can continue to operate the IFACCA secretariat and provide services such as ACORNS, the website, our research reports and new projects like ConnectCP. Members also receive a number of special benefits, including discounts for registration at the World Summit in June 2006. Invoices for 2006 membership have been despatched this week and we welcome prompt payment. We will be announcing a number of new members early in the new year, but we always welcome more!
