IEC NEWSLETTER, NUMBER 22, JUNE 2009

IEC Alliances

IEC has decided to launch alliances with networks who will bring an added value to IEC members.

In Montreal, on the 5th of June 2009, IEC has signed an alliance with EPR, a Canada– based network.

In the US, in Lake Tahoe, on July the 23rd, IEC has signed an alliance with CPA-USA, an American– based network.

Alliances not only give more weight to your network, it also enables you to do more business with firms we know and have confidence in.

« These alliances give the opportunity to have direct business relations in towns where IEC is not directly represented. They have been built in cooperation with our three current members in the relevant countries: Funaro & Co (New York, USA), Micheal Minyard & Co. (Phoenix, USA) and Taillefer Lussier Gauthier (Montreal, Canada). The Board is really thanking these IEC members for their support in this matter: this proves how much Funaro & Co , Micheal Minyard & Co. and Taillefer Lussier Gauthier are fully convinced they will also benefit of these alliances. »

Michel De Wolf,
IEC Chairman
