**************************************************************** Greetings to the list. Below I have posted information about the forthcoming CEEMAN annual conference. Before presenting the formal announcement, I have provided a very brief description of CEEMAN and its internet list, CEEMAN-L. In a separate post, I will send a brief profile of CEEMAN-L. Interested list members may contact me (mailto:mac@maine.edu) to be added to CEEMAN-L. I would be grateful if US/Western list members would forward the an- nouncements to any colleagues in the CEE/NIS regions who are involved/interested in management education and training. Please let me know if you have any questions. This note is going to several lists, so let me apologize in advance to those whose tolerance for multiple postings is far less than mine. ***************************************************************** * Dr. Dennis McConnell * TEL: +1.207.581.1988 * * Maine Business School * FAX: +1.207.581.1956 * * University of Maine ************************ * Orono, Maine 04469-5723 U.S.A. * mailto:MAC@MAINE.EDU * ***************************************************************** The Central and East European Management Development Association, (CEEMAN) located in Slovenia, would like to extend an invitation to its forthcoming Sixth Annual conference, to be held in Latvia in October.
