Dear Travel Working Group Member,
The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the next Travel Working Group Meeting on Tuesday, 29th March, starting from 2 PM to 4 PM, at the European Chamber Beijing office.
At this meeting we will have our Annual Working Group Chairs Elections and begin our discussions on the new upcoming Position Paper 2011/12.
As you may know, the Travel 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 Friday March 25th March.
In addition, we will also begin our discussions on the Travel Position Paper for 2011/2012 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.
