Re: NETC or ACIS
Posted by Desmond Maguire on 7/22/08
The only teacher by this name who has led an NETC Tour did not
make this posting. I would recommend verifying the authenticity
of anyone posting messages on any site by requesting both their
name and school information and insisting on and verifying a
school e mail. This will help to ensure the validity and
integrity of teacher posting resources. If anyone has any
questions about this issue or about NETC’s leadership role in the
Educational Travel community, please feel free to contact me
directly at any time.
Sincerely,
Desmond Maguire
President, NETC
