On the evening of November 8, the participants of the first meeting signed the founding charter for the European Association of Communication Directors. The network aims to represent the interests of the profession throughout the continent. Dr. Herbert Heitmann, Head of Global Communications at SAP, was elected President. The most important goals of the association are the development of pan-European quality standards, stronger networking and the promotion of qualifications within the profession. Transnational communication is described as a management discipline of growing importance, especially in view of the constant expansion of the European Union. The network is politically independent and supports its members with practical services and informative media, as the SDA announced on Friday.
