Southeast Asia Regional Program Manager
Traffic Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network
TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, works to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature. TRAFFIC is seeking a Regional Program Manager for its Southeast Asia program. The Regional Program Manager is based at TRAFFIC's Southeast Asia regional office in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, where TRAFFIC is legally hosted by WWF Malaysia. In addition, a sub-regional office for the Greater Mekong operates in Viet Nam, a project office is hosted by IUCN in Thailand, and project staff are based in other countries of the region. The Regional Program Manager will be supervised initially by the Executive Director of TRAFFIC International, the head office of the TRAFFIC Network, based in Cambridge, UK. This line management is likely to shift to a new senior program director position before the end of 2009.

The Louise Cort, Curator of Ceramics
Freer and Sackler Galleries, Smithsonian Institution invites you to join a Webinar on
June 23, 2009, 8:00 p.m. (EDT)
Ceramics of Mainland Southeast Asia, launched in December 2008, is already a valued online resource in a field where published scholarship is scarce.

Curator Louise Cort will host the interactive Webinar explaining the catalogue's goals for
serving an international virtual community and demonstrating its features, including many layers of scholarship. This webinar will be pertinent to anyone interested in Southeast Asia; ceramics; and the use of technology to deliver content, foster dialogue and create virtual communities. Guests are invited to participate by submitting their questions online.
In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University
Museum Studies program, please join us at 8:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 23,
2009 for a Webinar connecting interested participants around the world.
