He also gave valuable advice and suggestions on the Chapter building.
The re-election of a new Chapter Chairman is one of the key issues. PATA China (Beijing) Chapter Chairman and Vice Chairman would be nominated and voted by secret ballot after discussion. Ms. Kate Chang, Regional Director of Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board, was elected Chairman and Mr. Bo Li, Deputy Managing Director, Vice Chairman.
Ms. Chang, original Regional Director – Greater China of PATA, after being elected: said that PATA is a powerful platform. Through which I hope we would do our best to make it better and more vibrant. She also mentioned Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board will continue to make more contribution as a PATA member.
The board meeting not only promotes exchange and understanding among board members, but also increases the communications between the Chapter and PATA China Office. It also reinforces the base of the Chapter organization and determines the development path of the Chapters.
