Site Survey for the 41^st Global Leadership Summit

She also travelled around the host city and confirmed the venues of this year’s Global Leadership Summit.

World President Susan was joined by senior leaders of a local Principal Member, Kaohsiung Judicious Creative Architecture Association, as well as FIABCI-Taiwan President Lily Chang and Vice President David Tang at the business luncheon.

High-level Meetings

Taichung-based chapter President Lily Chang and World President Susan Greenfield met with Former City Mayor Jason Hu and Deputy Mayor Huang of Taichung for lunch on 20 August. As Taichung was the host city for the 2013 FIABCI World Real Estate Congress, they happily exchanged thoughts about the upcoming Global Leadership Summit in Kaohsiung.

Prior to her departure, the World President also took this opportunity to have dinner with FIABCI-Taiwan chapter leaders. The evening finished with laughter and everyone is looking forward to seeing the World President again soon later this year in Kaohsiung.
