Welcome to the CIC e-Newsletter - Summer 2010
Editor's Message
It's finally time for those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. We hope this summer edition of To Your Credit finds you well and ready for some R & R—relaxation and reading. We've assembled a pot pourri of informative summertime reading. Don’t forget to read the message from Peter Finlay, CCP, President and Dean on recent Executive Committee appointments, the profile of National Board Director and Education Committee Co-chair, Dana Swekla, as well as updates from our members on the move.
The business articles focus on the economy, doing business in China, and that ever present menace, the fraudster. Our legal articles focus on the enforcement of judgments, both inter provincially and internationally. On the personal development side, we have some tips on how to be a more effective negotiator, and how to overcome fears of public speaking—a very common phobia.
If you're curious about the CC Index and want to learn how it works, please click on the side bar video link.
As always, we want to hear from our members and welcome your comments and suggestions for future articles.
Happy reading,
Reggie Delovitch
