I found Julie to be informative and interesting. Her breadth of experiences allowed her to hold a unique lens through which to view the upcoming Olympics. I also thought that the lunch was delicious!

I thought Julie had a unique perspective as a journalist and living in Beijing. Knowing the history of why they received this second opportunity to host the Olympics and what to observe during it's broadcast, was enlightening. Plus, we learned so much more about the lives of the Chinese people and the control of the government. It was a first person account. Excellent insights! We to enjoyed the lunch!

Thanks to all for your informative comments. This program was yet another example of how your programs team works hard to truly provide our members and guests with "Global perspectives you will get nowhere else."

A THOROUGHLY DELIGHTFUL, WELL INFORMED AND FASINATING LADY. OUR SPEAKERS GET MORE INTERESTING AS TIME GOES BY.

WE MUST IMPROVE OUR MIKES TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE BETTER. THE LUNCHEON WAS FINE

Excellent speaker with a very appropriate background to help us prepare for the upcoming Olympics. We will now look at the Olympic games through a different lens.
Very informative presentation.

Kudos to the program committee.
