Welcome From BABC International President

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:26:19 GMT

WELCOME TO THE BABC

As the President of the British-American Business Council (BABC), I am delighted to welcome you to membership in the BABC through your membership in your regional BABC chapter.

Through the BABC, you have access to the largest transatlantic business network – some 3,000 companies, based in more than 20 major business centers throughout North America and the UK, that account for a large portion of the $600 billion in US-UK investment and $171 billion in annual US-UK trade.

You can, for example, participate in the local programs offered by all our chapters, as well as in our Annual Transatlantic Business Conferences; access the password-protected membership databases of all our chapters to identify clients and business partners throughout our network; promote your company and your services/products to their members, through our website; and take advantage of our other business services, including extensive external North American/European corporate databases, special savings on services/products offered by other BABC members throughout our network, and (US chapters only) to our swift and efficient J1 Program.

We are a young organization, and we owe our growth to the participation of companies like yours that are looking to expand their transatlantic business.

I hope to have the opportunity to meet with you personally at next Annual Conference in my own home town of Chicago (April 23-35, 2008). In the meantime, I hope that you will take full advantage of the business opportunities that we offer your company. If you would like to know more, please ask your local association – they are active members of ours, and participate regularly in our Conferences.

Welcome, again, to membership in the BABC, and my very best wishes to you.

David Kay
President, British-American Business Council

What Do I Wear to Ascot Day?!

Wed, 21 May 2008 19:04:51 GMT

Hats, hats and hats......Ascot is known almost more for the attire worn there than the racing itself. It's an opportunity to see and be seen. In the Royal Enclosure morning suits are required for gents and ladies must have matched dress or pant suits or dresses that cover the shoulders and hats that cover the crown of the head.

BABC's Royal Enclosure may not be as strict in its dress code, but we do try to spruce up a bit. Men are encouraged to wear morning suits, but national dress and business suits are acceptable. The Sam Houston Race Park does require a jacket in the suites and no denim. If you are a bit nervous about dressing for the occasion just think of it as a costume party! As any good costume party should have, there will be prizes for the best dressed. Any questions, call Becci at 713-784-7710.

David's Bridal is offering a 10% discount on purchases for this event. Discount coupon will be uploaded soon so check back!
