LINKING PEOPLE, JOINING NATIONS
Dr Baldev Raj (India), IIW President 2011-2014, during one of his Presidential
addresses outlined what he believed IIW had achieved regarding communication. It was
‘…transformation of IIW from an historically renowned repository of knowledge into a
modern, dynamic network nucleus of information which responds to present day needs’.

It
is clear, not only from Raj’s words, that the ongoing changes in communication technology
over the last 25 years were to herald an even greater change in the future, where a new era
of communication technology was about to arrive on the doorstep of IIW!
