MISSION AND GOALS The mission of the American Council on Education Women’s Network is to identify, develop, advance, and support women in higher education at the national, state, and local levels. The goals of both The Network (national) and the Virginia Network are to promote women's leadership in higher education and throughout society as a whole; to create an educational, social, and political climate in which women, in all their diversity, can participate equally with men in setting public agendas; to facilitate connections among women in various sectors of higher education and with other organizations and networks with shared goals on the institutional, state, regional, professional, national, and international levels; and to foster strategic alliances and facilitate effective partnerships between women and men in the workplace.

In recent decades, the number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) worldwide has increased dramatically, along with a broadening of their activities and strengthening of their influence. They now impact policies and political agendas and advance initiatives that once were nearly exclusively the domain of governments and profit corporations. Alongside with these trends, developments and innovations within Information Technology (IT) have facilitated and effectuated the way humanitarian issues are raised, communicated and advocated to relevant stakeholders and the general public. It has also contributed to improved communication between actors in the humanitarian field and in many cases increased efficiency in provision of humanitarian assistance. Yet, the increased use of IT in humanitarian work is also posing several challenges what regards the safety and security of humanitarian staff and NGO´s at large as well as ways in which organizations choose to deal with IT, IT-policies and Human Resources (HR). ”The SECLUDED IT AID GROUP” is designed to provide staff of NGOs, as well as scholars and interested researchers an ever-expanding resource on relevant IT and IT-security issues. Emphasis is in particular placed on practical information regarding IT and IT-security risks relevant to NGOs and NGO-staff (expatriates). We have more than 11 years of experience from providing IT-support to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the United Nations (UN), international security companies and various other companies worldwide. Our experience has shown that private persons, employees of organizations and companies as well as organizations and companies at large often run risks potentially affecting their privacy due to inadequate service of their computers and IT-equipment.

Incorporated in 1991, CONECT was founded by 10 Massachusetts business people involved in international trade. CONECT is recognized as a highly effective political voice for its members. Its core mission is to educate local, state and federal government representatives about the benefits of international trade, and bring members together with policymakers to ensure that new rules and regulations are fair to all businesses dependent on free and fair trade. CONECT's voice is also heard in efforts to enhance the U.S. trade and transportation infrastructure. While many national organizations exist to further the interests of specific sectors of the international trade community, there is only one effective political voice for New England businesses which are dependent upon international trade. The Coalition of New England Companies for Trade (CONECT) is comprised of manufacturers, traders, importers, exporters, customs brokers, freight forwarders, NVOCCs, transportation providers, financial institutions, law firms, accounting firms, and consultants active in international trade.

Crowd funding can also refer to the funding of a company by selling small amounts of equity to many investors. Crowd funding has its origins in the concept of crowd sourcing, which is the broader concept of an individual reaching a goal by receiving and leveraging small contributions from many parties. Crowd funding is the application of this concept to the collection of funds through small contributions from many parties in order to finance a particular project or venture. Crowd funding models involve a variety of participants. They include the people or organizations that propose the ideas and/or projects to be funded, and the crowd of people who support the proposals. Crowd funding is then supported by an organization (the "platform") which brings together the project initiator and the crowd.

GYCA seeks to improve HIV and AIDS policies and programming geared toward young people by facilitating the inclusion of skilled young leaders in decision-making that affects our lives. For example, GYCA has coordinated the inclusion of young leaders on government delegations through which they have addressed the UN General Assembly and dialogued directly with Ministers of Health and Education. GYCA has secured prominent advocacy opportunities for powerful young leaders affected and infected with HIV, such as the opening ceremony and plenary sessions at International AIDS Conferences. GYCA also connects young people to positions in their countries from which they can affect great change, such as employment with National AIDS Control Organizations, heading NGOs and designing effective prevention and outreach programs. GYCA decision-makers include youth living with HIV/AIDS, and the Coalition is committed to working with and for marginalized youth such as injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, sex workers, youth in resource-constrained areas without access to information communication technology (ICT), and others, and aims to create meaningful youth-adult partnerships. GYCA advocates for a human rights-based approach to HIV/AIDS interventions that includes full and accurate information, education and services including condoms and needle exchange. Because most young people are infected with HIV through sexual intercourse, GYCA reaffirms that sexual and reproductive health and rights must be integrated with HIV/AIDS interventions to succeed. GYCA's work is focused in three main areas: Capacity-building and technical assistance; Networking and sharing of best practices; and Political Advocacy.
