Dear List Members, * Apologies for Cross-Posting * The Forum on NGO Governance and Management in China occurred on 16 August 2013 at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada). The Forum generated fruitful dialogues and discussions on the state of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in China and the future of the sector. As one of the aims of the conference was to make the papers and discussions publicly available, the conference proceedings were taped. Videos of the presentations, powerpoints and full papers are available via the conference website: https://sites.google.com/site/chinesengos/presentations We hope you will find the website and related materials helpful.
