Our Host Committee CEO's will meet with her and her team privately before dinner that evening to discuss key issues and recommendations. Please identify your interest if you have a commercial transaction or education/community project in the Philippines that you would like to sign or emphasize during the trip. This could even be a human interest story. We are putting together a package of "deliverables" , possible "signings" for the trip, and a media kit. We will work with you to use the information you provide according to your requirements and interests. This meeting will identify the Council members key messages for the President, as well as possible deliverables. We will discuss our plans to support and be engaged in the US Government package for the Arroyo visit. We have already been invited to participate in that effort. In preparation for the visit of the President, we would like to emphasize the broad and deep engagement and contributions that our companies make in the Philippines, and therefore I request your assistance in completing the following survey.
