Join report authors Thilo Hanemann and Daniel Rosen, both of Rhodium Group; Ker Gibbs, president, AmCham Shanghai; Rebecca Fannin, founder/editor, Silicon Dragon Ventures; and National Committee President Stephen Orlins for our annual Two-Way Street report release event and virtual discussion of the latest two-way investment data and analysis tonight at 8:00 p.m. EDT.

 With the passing of Douglas P. Murray in April, the National Committee lost a wonderful and caring leader, colleague and friend. The National Committee was the beneficiary of Doug’s wisdom and dedication for five decades: as a staff member (program director, vice president, and president pro tem); as a board member for 28 years between 1975 and 2006 (during which he was secretary for one year, treasurer for one year, and vice chair for nine years); and as an informal advisor – someone to whom the staff could always turn for thoughtful guidance.
More about Doug can be found on our website, where those wishing to make a contribution to the National Committee in his memory can do so. |
