Note: The Tennessee World Affairs Council and the network of 100+ World Affairs Councils of America choose six key issues to focus attention on each year. For the 2012-2013 program year the country of China is among those. We are pleased to share this event announcement and hope our members and friends will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about a key issue in foreign policy, world affairs, and national security. We invite you to contribute your input on the top issues to be considered for the 2013-2014 program year through the WACA survey. [Link]

CHINA SEMINAR: BEYOND THE HEADLINES
A dynamic analysis of Chinese political and policy developments, and how they will impact U.S. companies in the Year of the Snake
The New Year is bringing political change on both sides of the Pacific, while headlines provide few details on how these shifts will impact daily operations of companies doing business in China or alter the landscape for American companies exploring Chinese opportunities.
Join us for breakfast on February 6 in Cincinnati, Ohio or Louisville, Kentucky (or via webcast) to gain insight from James Sasser, former United States Ambassador to China and a former U.S. Senator from Tennessee, along with his son, Gray Sasser, member at Frost Brown Todd in Nashville and adjunct professor of Asian Business and Political Economies at Belmont University.
In addition, best practices will be shared by industry professionals who look forward to discussing with you China hot topics and current state of the China labor market (and how U.S. companies are managing). Once again this year, we expect broad, informative interaction among participants.
Specific Topics include:
China’s new leadership and its economic relationship with the U.S.
Why businesses are increasing their footprint in China
Re-shoring update
Changing dynamics of the Chinese labor market
Recruiting and staffing for success
Key retention practices
Cultural differences and training
Panelists:
Robert Smith, Papa John’s International
Jason McDaniel, French Oil Mill Machinery Company
Mark Ramsey, East West Associates (former Owens Coming China Director)
Pei Zhang, Frost Brown Todd LLC
Moderator:
Alex Bryant, East West Associates
