Who are we?
Fjordnet was founded the 13th September 1999 and was until 2010 called Tværfagligt Netværk (Interdisciplinary Network). Its aim is to create network for people, associated with Ringkøbing Fjord area, including newcomers. Its members are both locals and newcomers, and everybody can participate in it regardless of age and background. We host 1-2 events a month, where members meet and develop their personal, professional and social network.Who runs the association?
It is done by members and the board. Fjordnet’s activities are based needs and wishes, of its members, so their ideas for events and  their participation in the events is crucial for the Fjordnet’s existence. As a member you also have the opportunity to implement an arrangement. You just need to contact the board. The board stays for a number of practical tasks and cooperates with event coordinator Dorthe Marie Siersbæk in preparation of new exciting events for each month.
