President's Message

Raul_Papaleo_photo

During those weeks in March, the BCCC team is concentrated in two main targets. The first one is to review and refine all our business processes and procedures, focusing in our relationships with the members and other stakeholders. A large amount of work has been done in reviewing all processes, re-design some of them, searching and establishing new suppliers for some of our needs.

 

The other important target is to prepare our next two events to be held in May and June. The first one will focus Sustainability and the second one, in June, will be our traditional "Doing Business in Brazil", this year with an enlarged scope and several very important presenters.

 

To face all those challenges the Executive Directors' Board approved the increase of our structure with the hiring of a new part-time assistant which is now working together with us since the PDAC events.

Growing and improving. This is the focus for all. 

 

      Sincerely

      Raul Papaleo - President
