location search: CLICK HERE for information about how The Network defines a location. Places of interest to you and other .network users are listed for free. We are attempting to put together a global list of locations that want enterprise and economic development, realizing that we can never attain the ideal, which would be to offer a resource complete with information that stays up-to-date. In lieu of the ideal we offer you a search promise. Search inside .network websites or throughout the Web, using any of the search tools we provide. Send us an anonymous email should you not readily find what you look for. Likewise, contact us if you do find the location listed, but without enough information to carry on with your participation in the .network mission. Our response will be to publish the name of the place of interest to you in our websites along with a link to information on how to contact someone in position to to supply location data. This is a free service. CLICK HERE if you have information about a location that would interest other users.

As such, The Network functions as a specialized online information service in two ways: (1) by facilitating your search for resource providers; and, (2) by archiving information about resources useful those who join in on the mission. Facilitating your search for resource providers means that The
Network functions by passing you on as swiftly as possible
to the point of making direct contact. It facilitates your desire
to build and maintain working relationships without us (who
we are)
getting in the middle of communications or business transactions.

and service providers.

A footnote to the history of our search promise involves the demise of an association once well know in economic development, corporate real estate, and industrial assets management circles for its networking opportunities. For months after disbandment a remnant of its membership directory remained online as a resource that continued to become more and more outdated over time. It fouled search engines and contributed to dead end frustrations for members of the .network target audience. The upside for those who discovered and used The
Network was the salvage of all of the names and addresses
of the associates of the International
Development Research Council from the final issue
of its membership directory. Records for all
associate members were recreated
in the Global
Registry of Contacts. There they remain to this day
a a source of contact
data. Individual
records are updated continuously in the GRC database as requests
are received for us (who
we are) to deliver on the .network search
promise. The glossary is a specialized reference and learning tool for the .network target audience. It is covered by our search promise. To access or search the glossary now, CLICK HERE. The glossary also serves to demonstrate the extensive use The Network makes of hyperlink technology. The purpose of the plethora of links throughout .network websites is to allow users to have a choice in gathering as much information as they want. Following is an example of a glossary definition showing the
use of links. A line of text is at the end of the definition. Notice
that
it
begins with the words definition of. This is to facilitate searches.
Put the words definition of in a search box
ahead of anything else.
This will help the search
tool zero in on what you want. CLICK

more search help. Designation for a member of an organization who has access to informational resources and networking opportunities without full rights and privileges, for example, to vote or hold office. See the answer to the question: Who organized the first association giving economic developers the opportunity to network with corporate real estate executives? At one time the association the answer identifies provided professional recognition to its members. For example, the highest recognition given to resource suppliers and service providers in the field of enterprise and economic development by the organization was associate master professional. The founder of The Network has held the Associate Master Professional designation longer than any other person who was a member of the association.
