I thought I knew about all the ag communications organizations out there but this is a new one on me. It’s the International Association of Agricultural Information Specialists. And they have a blog. Yes, I’m going to join.
Our vision is to be the leading global community of practice for information specialists serving agriculture.
Our mission is to enable our members to create, capture, access and disseminate information to achieve a more productive and sustainable use of the world’s land, water, and renewable natural resources. To further this mission:
* IAALD connects agricultural information specialists worldwide, providing platforms and spaces for information dissemination, exchange and knowledge sharing;
* IAALD convenes agricultural information specialists worldwide, organising meetings and catalyzing dialogue among all agricultural information stakeholders;
* IAALD communicates and advocates the value of knowledge and information to its members and others, improving the status and practice of agricultural information management and dissemination;
* IAALD collaborates with members and other partner organisations, facilitating and catalyzing educational and other opportunities across agricultural information communities.
