We have modernized the previous newsletter in PDF format, which has been sent out via mail for 10 years, so that we now send it out via the Mailchimp system. The content will be more or less the same, but the new format should make it simpler to make a quick overview of the content. Via links you can dive into the details and get the full text.

In the long term, we will also create exclusive content that only members have access to via a login – the login info will be sent out later from the DFA-secretariat.
From now on, we expect to send out the newsletter 4 times a year - in addition, there will be special announcements - e.g. invitations to courses, conferences and webinars.

Please send a mail to the DFA Secretariat, if you want a employee to be subscribed to DFA Newsletter – or you want to be unsubscribed. Mail to: tom@axelgaard.org
