Newsletter                                                                                           March 2010


Dear Members,

This is the second edition of our e-mail newsletter, which has replaced the pdf and printed version. If you have comments or article requests, please let us know.

I have the pleasure of announcing our Annual Meeting on April 21. True to tradition, it will be succeeded by a Business Conference and this year the headline is “The US Back on the Agenda!” By this we wish to bring focus to the current economic positive indications and success stories for Danish companies on the US market. Also, I would like you to mark May 27, where US Ambassador, Laurie Fulton welcomes our members in her home for a Networking Buffet Dinner at Rydhave.

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to our new concept of sharing best practise – working groups. Working groups consist of 4-6 companies who are dealing with a common challenge, and share their concerns and solutions in minor, trust-based working forums. If you are dealing with issues that you would like to address in a working group, please send me a brief inquiry.

Best regards,
Einar Dyrhauge
