An eRider is: "The formal role of the [eRiders] is best defined, in the words of one leading advocate and practitioner, as "part trainer, part management consultant, part computer expert. They provide consulting and assistance with technology strategy development, make multiple visits to the organizations they serve, and provide advice and information by phone and e-mail. They can serve regional constituencies by travel from a central location." In the best circumstances, [eRiders] may even "cross-pollinate" the groups they service, transmitting insights, tools, and tips as they travel throughout the sector. In addition, training materials and resources can be used at multiple sites thereby spreading the development cost out across a number of organizations." - From Compass Point Circuit Rider Evaluation Report

This list was first set of for participants of the 1st Joint International eRider Training held November 2002 in Pristina, Kosovo. 17 participants from 14 countries attended the training.
