About contact directories:

The Network maintains its own global directory of contacts. Searching is easy because three essential items of information from it are published online. Having free and easy access to contact data is a fourth essential, given that the purpose of The Network is to bring people together to make enterprise and economic development happen.

Providing access to information for building and maintaining working relationship goes beyond supplying one directory. The Network puts as many directories as possible at your disposal. For examples, see US Economic Development Directories. Also, take a look at where the Google/.network search engine is available to query business publications, some of which offer directories or at least allow free searches of editorial content and advertising.

Links to www.ecodevdirectory.com and www.gdi-solutions.com/directories.htm demonstrate the universality of The Network, the first to the Economic Development Directory website, the second, which zeros in on its directories resource, is to one that's similar.

Our offer to provide free personal choose to search assistance applies no matter what directory you access through The Network. You can recommend that a directory be added. Specifics for making your suggestion are included with instructions for sending an email which also explain how to request that a link to contact data be published or corrected in the Global Registry of Contacts, or a new mission contact added.

The reason The Network maintains the GRC database is to serve members of its target audience. Information published online from the database is useful in searching for resource and service providers. All information in the database is used to support our (who we are) delivery on the search promise of The Network. If you understand our mission, you also understand that it is essential for us to maintain the Global Registry of Contacts as a comprehensive resource. We seek applications and notices of updates for GRC records from throughout the world. Anyone who takes the initiative and asks to be included obtains a record ... and it is maintained for free. A disclaimer and privacy policy are the guides we use in reviewing applications and making decisions about what comments to add to individual database records. What you've read is the basis for stating that we don't reject applications. go back
