Why join the Network?

Learning Network members actively share their RDP experience, expertise and challenges with other members and with CSG in ways that serve to advance RDP practice and effectiveness.

Joining the RDP Learning Network gives you these benefits:

Aspen CSG facilitates communication and sharing among Network members. It does so through interactive technology (telephone, email, internet, and so forth), written materials, and occasional face-to-face exchanges, designed to disseminate the best RDP practices to Network practitioners and beyond.

One thing we won't do if you join the network is drown you in electronic fluff. We will make every effort to ensure that communications from the network are relevant, interesting and important to you. Communications from the network won't be a daily event—but when we do contact you, it is likely to be with something important to you.
