Chapter and Affiliate NewsPDMA Welcomes Its Ecuador ChapterWe are living in a time when good ideas are coming from emerging countries, and Latin America is one of three regions where multinational companies are expected to grow in 2013. Latin America is well positioned to lead the global economic recovery if it maintains its current growth rate. So, continuing with the PDMA´s vision, a group of professionals in Ecuador led by Geovanny Romero, NPDP, are working to establish Ecuador's PDMA chapter in the coming months. VP of Regional Development - Latin America, Oscar Acuña, NPDP, has aided in the creation of a business plan for the Ecuadorian team. One of the first topics to approach will be "Innovation of the Customer Experience" for organizations and companies in Ecuador. PDMA Ecuador will start working in Guayaquil, the largest and most populated city in Ecaudor, and the largest city in terms of contribution to national GDP. Stay tuned for more news from PDMA's Ecuador Chapter! Submitted by Geovanny Romero, NPDP. |
