The eLN becomes the eLN CIC
3/9/2009
Full members of the eLN - a non-profit organisation run by the e-learning community for the e-learning community - have unanimously approved of the organisation's transition from an unincorporated association to a community interest company (CIC).
Consequently, the organisation became the eLearning Network Community Interest Company (eLN CIC) on 1st September. It has inherited all the assets of the eLN.The current 12 members of the eLN's committee have been appointed as directors of eLN CIC. The former eLN chairman, Clive Shepherd, continues as chairman of the company's board and Pat Straughan, the eLN's administrator, has become the company secretary.
Clive Shepherd explained: "The eLN CIC is a ‘social enterprise' - that is, a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community. Social enterprises tackle a wide range of social and environmental issues and operate in all parts of the economy.
