The President’s lines
New identity of the Swedish
Business Council being launched
Dear members,
[Date]
This letter represents the first step in making Swedish
Business Council’s services, activities, and events more
accessible to its members.
Our ambition is to offer our members a variety and a
mix of events based on our vision and mission. These
events could arise from your inputs as well as from
our own initiatives.
The first visual token is the launch of our new website
(www.sbcuae.se), and this very Newsletter.
The website will be our prime source for
communication to and from our members. It will
include information about up-coming events,
invitations, feedback, testimonials, and member
benefits. It will also provide the opportunity to
advertise your planned activities.
The Newsletter can be downloaded from our website
or it will be distributed electronically to those who will
subscribe. It will contain information about board
decisions, up-coming conferences, business visits and
seminars together with social events and celebrations.
It will also include activities that are organized by the
Swedish Embassy, Business Sweden, the Swedish
Church and other Swedish organizations in the UAE.
If you are the contact person in your company, you are
requested to distribute this Newsletter to your
employees.
