Association for Progressive Communications Membership Transferred to EngageMedia

by Andrew Garton June 07, 2010
The Executive Board of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) has agreed unanimously to support the transfer of APC membership from long-standing member, apc.au, to EngageMedia. APC was co-founded in 1990 by Pegasus Networks, the first community based national Internet provider in Australia. Former Pegasus staff established apc.au in 1997.

Andrew Garton, apc.au's co-founder describes "... the work of EngageMedia as encapsulating the goals and ambitions of a new generation of online media activists, maturing on the groundwork of people such as ourselves (apc.au) and our learned and respected colleagues throughout APC".

"The transition, or transference is a natural one. It's a necessary evolution to create space and opportunity for fresh minds to grow from where we took our first steps."

APC members use information communication technologies to empower and support organisations, social movements and individuals to build communities and strengthen initiatives for the purpose of making meaningful contributions to equitable human development, social and gender justice, participatory political processes and environmental sustainability.
