3rd SWS-Asia Foundation-CBC Presentation of the Latest SWS Survey Results on Corruption
We are organizing the 3rd SWS-Asia Foundation-CBC Presentation of the Latest SWS Survey Results on Corruption - but with a twist. In our previous SWS events, we had attendance of over 100 people from business, civil society, and government. It promises to be a lively event.
The date is 24 November 2008, from 11:30am to 2:00pm. The venue will be announced shortly.
Please invite your business contacts who may be interested in this topic - a relevant topic in the face of the challenges of our times. We wish to make this a significant event - and we intend to once again bring in the LGU’s, heads of the government departments, businessmen, civil society, and educators.
