WAPI News

WAPI eGroup passes the 5 Year mark!!

This month is the 5th anniversary of the foundation of the WAPI eGroup UK2. The eGroup took-over from UKInvestigators which was founded in August 2001.

Over the past 5 years the UK2 has posted approx. 10,000 messages which averages around 200 per month!

The eGroup currently has a Membership of 766 (including the Bouncing Members) of which approx. 40% are overseas Members.

There have been relatively few problems, and as an unmoderated eGroup, the Members have shown themselves to be both responsible and professional in their postings to the Group. The few that have overstepped the mark, have been politely and quickly admonished by the Moderator.

Whilst the eGroup is owned by WAPI - Non WAPI Members are welcome and there is no charge for Membership.
The Group has co-operated fully with the other PI Associations and the ISG (Investigator Sector Group) in the dissemination of information on the regulation or the Security Industry, and will continue to fully co-operate in this area.

As a networking tool, there can be little doubt that the eGroup has and continues to be a most useful marketplace for Investigators world-wide. PLUS providing free and qualified assistance from our many experienced Members.

For those on the island of Ireland, WAPI have an Irish eGroup to assist Members during the regulation of the Security Industry in the Republic of Ireland, The PI Sector are expected to have to be licensed during 2007. This eGroup can be found at Irish-PI-Licensing@yahoogroups.com

Perhaps, at the 5 year point, those who have not joined WAPI will give some consideration to downloading an Application? A strong Association Membership provides a strong Mandate when WAPI represents both Members - and UK2 Members at Sector Meetings on UK and EU Matters. Take a look at www.wapi.com and send in your completed application?

Thank you all for making this the largest, and in our (biased) view the most Professional eGroup for Investigators.
