International Executive Service Corps - China Projects
*****************************************************************
I have today received the December 1996 issue of IESC News, the
newsletter published by the International Executive Service Corps
(IECS). The newsletter is mailed to individuals who have, in the
past, served as a Volunteer Executive (VE) on an international
assignment for the IESC. My assignment was in Romania in 1992.
Although it is difficult to outline the activities of IESC in one
sentence, the organization assigns individuals with executive
experience to projects in many developing countries of the world.
It is, by the way, an excellent and effective development organi-
zation.
List members with an interest/experience in China may be inter-
ested in a brief note in the newsletter asking VEs with an inter-
est in China to contact Craig Moss. Some list members may want to
contact Mr. Moss for more information. He is, it appears, the
primary IESC link with China. Let me provide some essential
features of the announcement as it appeared in the newsletter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In China, IESC is allied with Global Access Corporation, based in
Hong Kong and Beijing, whose partners include U.S. companies and
Chinese government agencies. All programs are designed to be
commercially viable.
IESC's China program focuses on:
* Test marking U.S. products in China
* Stimulating U.S./China joint ventures
* Helping Chinese companies create value-added exports
* Helping U.S. companies expand or improve their operations in
China
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In a brief note attached to the discussion, Mr. Moss indicates
that if you are a VE with an interest in China, he would like to
hear from you. He also encourages VEs whose former employers are
interested in China to contact him (email: mailto:accessprc@aol.com).
Given the large number of members on our list, it is entirely
possible that we have some members who have been IESC VEs in the
past, and have a continuing interest in China.
List members not familiar with IESC may want to write to the IESC
headquarter for more information. The address:
International Executive Service Corps (IESC)
P.O. Box 10005
Stamford, CT 06904-2005
Tel: (203) 967-6000
Curiously (in 1996), I do not believe that IESC has an e-mail
address.
