“Are there any CEO’s that would you like to sleep with me?”

Now that I have your attention!! I am writing to let you know that for the 3rd consecutive year, I will be rising to the challenge of sleeping out rough for one night, with hundreds of CEOs and business leaders, to raise the awareness and necessary funds to support Vinnies homeless services at the CEO Sleepout in Sydney. I would appreciate your support for me as I hope to raise a minimum of $10,000 towards this worthy cause. 100 people donating $100 each or 200 people donating $50 each, would help me reach that target.

Last year I joined more than 1000 CEOs and business leaders across Australia sleep out rough and in one night, we collectively raised $4.2 million for homeless services. Details are all onwww.ceosleepout.org.au on how the funds are used. Take 2 minutes to view this short video which tells a compelling story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq9Y6HgjrH4&list=UU50Xiyap7V6ql-IK0QdSOpQ&index=1&feature=plcp Go directly online to sponsor against my profile, and to know why. http://www.ceosleepout.org.au/ceos/nsw-ceos/profile/?ceo=346 You will get a notification and a receipt from Vinnies directly online once you have completed your donation. This event has ben running every year since 2006 and is in its 7th year. $50 can provide a meal and educational resource for a disadvantaged child. $100 can help ensure a family keeps its power on this winter. $200 provides emergency accommodation and food to a family in crisis. $500 could relocate and establish a homeless person into one of the Society’s homeless accommodation services. $1,000 would pay the rent for a family facing eviction from their home. . If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know with warm regards Dr Caroline Hong Chief Executive Officer BDS (Uni Adel). GDHA (Uni SA). MHA (Uni NSW). FSAE. FADI. AFCHSM.

THE ROAD TO HELL...

Incentives are a strategic and effective marketing tool. And yet, when times are tough, when a smaller market demands a bigger slice of the action just to maintain the status quo; when adverse trading conditions demand a more highly motivated sales force, work force or after-sales team what is usually the

first budget casualty in many cases? More

Why the famil is a powerful destination marketing tool

Tourism Australia and its partners have already hosted five familiarisation visits in 2012. Bringing qualified agents and corporate buyers to Australia to experience the destination first-hand is one of the best ways to promote Australia for business events. The results speak for themselves – delegates from India, Korea, South East Asia and China were surveyed after their famil visit to Australia: On average 87.5 percent of delegates said their perception of Australia as a business events destination

Following these visits to Australia, 72.6 percent of delegate said they were very likely to consider the destination they visited for future corporate meetings or incentives. See below two videos filmed on recent famil visits, which will be used to build advocacy and promote Australia in China. Northern Territory Gold Coast
