Dear Members,

As I am holding the new issue of FBC.Mag, I am proud of the work accomplished by our publication committee and I would like thank them all for their commitment. This magazine is a very efficient communication tool for the French Business Council and is a successful vehicle of our image outside.
It is encouraging for us to meet new members who join the FBC because they got to learn about the FBC through this publication. And it is also comforting for each of you because it is your magazine, a window of your interests, your markets and your businesses, written by, with and for you.
Last but not least, the FBC team is now preparing your 2005 Directory. Developed as a day to day working tool, it will be practical and useful. So do not miss to update your business information on time or renew your membership if you want to be part of this successful communication media.
 

France Crespin-Van Duinen,
Director
