We tend to forget that it is often the suppliers of products and services that are either driving innovation or have the capacity to provide the creative solutions required to achieve higher efficiencies and improved service quality. Our corporate members exist within the same economic and policy context as the rest of the membership of the College. However, many of the national, corporate members can bring experience from other jurisdictions to assist in problem resolution; often they can draw from experience and evidence obtained through their international operations.
