COBCOE:
For a wider European view, take a look a the latest edition of Links, the President's Perspective, and the first ever edition of the Nordic Group Newsletter. If your company would like to submit an article for the next issue of the Nordic Newsletter, then please let us have a short summary of what the article would be about by Monday 3 May - we will pass this on to the editor who will then contact you.
News updates
 Keep an eye on the 'Latest News' panel on the left hand side of the BCCD-BIU home page for General news and articles on recent events. These are added on a regular basis and are a good way to catch up on events you may have missed. There are also a couple of new additions to our Business News section - if you have anything to add, then please get in touch.
Travel disruption help
Regus, the world’s largest provider of video communication facilities, has a network 2,500 studios across the world and 6 in Denmark. Affected business travellers are invited to call (+45) 33 37 72 10 to check immediate availability.
Copenhagen Post Supplement
 We are producing a supplement with our media partner, The Copenhagen Post, who will assist in the design and production process.
The newspaper supplement is intended to showcase three of the major themes relevant to members, which we have explored in our events over the past year. It will allow these topics to be covered in greater depth and updated with current developments. The themes for this year will be:
-
Environment & Sustainability
-
Corporate Governance, and other developments following the financial crisis
-
Employment of Internationals in Denmark (with a focus on international schooling)
The Copenhagen Post will be contacting members to ask if you would be interested in purchasing an advert in the supplement. We hope you will consider showing your company’s support of the organization by purchasing an advertisement in this special newspaper publication. We are planning to make this a yearly publication for the Chamber.
International Director Certificate training
We have been contacted by Teddy Wivel, Certificeret Bestyrelses Uddannelse, who has recently signed an agreement with the Institute of Directors in London, to arrange their International Director Certificate training in Denmark. It is an exciting programme with manuals and tutors coming from the UK. In addition to the International program and manuals there will be a Danish Manual connecting the international with the Danish norms and legislation.

From the Secretariat:
We would like to remind you that if you have signed up for an event, for yourself or a guest, and need to cancel, then please let us know the day before in order to avoid any charge that we may have to pass on to you.
We have decided to add photographs to our members list on the extranet, to make it easier for new members to get know everyone. So if you attend an event in the next few months, then don't be surprised if Hugh Mayo asks to take your picture! Alternatively you are welcome to send in an image, 100 x 100 pixels.
As always, you are welcome to just phone or e-mail the secretariat directly.
Kind regards,
Penny Schmith
Executive Director
