Intetics and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), two of IAOP Corporate Members, have joined forces to launch a new IAOP Eastern Europe Chapter with the intent to raise awareness of this region as an outsourcing destination and promote the industry and profession. Initially the Chapter is based in Ukraine and Poland, with the plans to expand to other countries within Eastern Europe.

As part of its educational effort, the Chapter will be hosting training and certification programs on a periodic basis to support professional development of the regional outsourcing workforce. It will also encourage constructive dialogue and cooperation between customers, providers, advisors, and agencies with the aim of outsourcing market development. The inaugural meeting of the IAOP Eastern Europe Chapter with featured presentations by Intetics and PwC will be held on December 2, 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine.
