IV. B. Helpful Associations

The Project Team chose not to list the names and addresses of individuals or programs interested in establishing exchange programs. This list would quickly become outdated and lose its effectiveness. Furthermore, virtually all the individuals who responded to the survey were willing to have their names listed as consultants so as to provide advice to others, but were not actively seeking additional involvement on the international scene. These individuals are credited in Section V C.

In order to provide individuals with a starting point from which to make initial inquiries about potential exchange partners, the following lists of national co-operative education associations and international educational exchange associations have been identified. It is hoped that the list of associations shown below will provide readers with a source of information to help them with their search for the right exchange partner.
