Businesspeople, civic leaders, and residents from all communities will experience China’s centuries-old customs and history, while witnessing first-hand their rapidly changing economy and their expanding role in the global marketplace.  The Chamber’s goal is to help the community have the chance to experience it at a cost-effective price. “The Chamber is the perfect organization to offer this delegation trip as an opportunity to educate our community on the economy, culture, and dynamics of the world,” says Chamber Executive Director Ginny Glasner. “I have personally experienced this amazing trip last year, and can tell you that the accommodations are first-class.  Not only did we see and experience the incredible culture, varied foods, and rich history of the country, we were treated as dignitaries representing America throughout the entire trip.” 


In addition to the cultural and tourist experience, there will be a rare opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn about doing business in China.  Details will be provided at the informational meeting.
