Dear Construction Working Group Member,
The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the next Construction Working Group Meeting on Friday, 18th March, 9 AM, at the European Chamber Beijing office and Shanghai will join via videolink.
At this meeting we will have our Annual Working Group Chairs Elections and begin our discussions on the new upcoming Position Paper 2010/11.
As you may know, the Construction Working Chair and Vice Chairs play a crucial role in driving the Working Group which includes a leadership role in the drafting of the Position Paper, communicating key messages to the Chinese and European Government, and steering the Working Group meetings. The desired characteristics of a Chair and Vice Chair are a senior industry representative with relevant industry expertise and government contacts that has the time and willingness to support the group. Previous participation in the Working Group is also highly valued. A general job description is attached for your reference.
Nomination of suitable candidates is highly encouraged. If you are interested in these positions, please send your bio and a letter of motivation to Ms Chanelle Hong at chong@euccc.com.cn by Wednesday March 16th.
In addition, we will also begin our discussions on the Construction Position Paper for 2010/2011 and the issues and recommendations that should be included. As the Position Paper forms the basis of our lobbying, members are strongly encouraged to consult widely within their own company in advance so that they can then table such recommendations for discussion at this meeting. Last year’s Position Paper is attached for your reference.
Therefore, we recommend that you make note now of these three key dates:
March 18th – Draft Recommendations
