CIIG Directory.

Currently this listing is published as a complete indexed membership this facilitates contact between members, especially those in similar organisations or in the same region. Once the appropriate software program has been constructed, it is intended to dispense with the printed document. The facility to update and amend the data as often as required, will provide the membership with an improved service on a continuous basis.
