Singapore Members Outreach with Cocktails
As the start of our Members Outreach Programme 2017, the Board of Directors hosted the first series of “Discuss, Listen and Propose” initiatives at Mandarin Oriental Singapore on 21 March 2017 to all the CASBAA voting members. Led by the Chairman Jonathan Spink and CEO Christopher Slaughter the leadership of the seven CASBAA committees presented quick-fire progress reports on the Association agenda for 2017 followed by networking cocktails. The next Members Outreach meeting is scheduled in a few months in Hong Kong. See you there!
