Richard Taylor meets with Young Scholar Program participant Victor Dibia.

I have been a member of PTC for over 25 years. In that time I have been active in the educators’ community, as co-chair of the annual conference, as a member and chair of the Board of Governors and currently as a member of the Advisory Council.

I have been, and continue to be, compelled by its nonprofit mission — to use the power of information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life in the Asia-Pacific region. This mission is driven forward every year by the support of the members – business, professional and academic – who know PTC works throughout the year to fulfill its goal. Unlike commercial conference operators, it ultimately has in mind a higher good, which informs its leadership, staff and members, and brings me back every year.
