From: cisssh@gsusgi2.gsu.edu (Shuguang Hong) Subject: IBAA Dear Friends, Thank you very much for being interested in IBAA and for your congratulations. Below is a brief description of IBAA. The bylaw (1992) of IBAA is also attached at the end. The first newsletter will be sent to you soon. The bylaw and newsletter are both encoded. To read them, you need to decode them first using UUDECODE. After that, you could read or print them using Chinese software such as BYX or NJSTAR. The main activities of the association include publishing newsletters, sponsoring seminars on business related topics, and holding meetings with business delegations from China. The association organization currently consists of a president, a vice president, and a seven member board of directors, all elected by the members. IBAA has met with several business deleations from China that agreed to exchange business information with us. We have just formed the "sister- association" with the China National Association of Farmer Entrepreneurs. A lot of you requested for the membership of IBAA. We feel that to best serve your interest you should form an organization similar to IBAA at your local city and call it the International Business Association of , as long as we agree on the same goals and objectives, i.e., to create business opportunities for our members and to help them be successful business owners. Please refer to the bylaw for details). By forming such organizations, we would establish a world wide business network. We would be very happy to talk with you about how we started IBAA and the experiences of operating IBAA in the past few months. If you prefer not to form an local organization, you are always welcome to join IBAA.
