It’s already November and before we know it Sinterklaas
will arrive at Keppel Bay and artificial snow will descend
upon Orchard Road. In these coming months filled
with traditions, the ADB invites you to a seminar on
sustainability and finance, in cooperation with Rabobank
and De Lage Landen, and we will close our association’s
20 th birthday with a grand Dinner & Dance in Christmas
style on December 11. Traditionally the highlight of the
year, ADB has worked hard to make its traditional Dinner
& Dance even more special this year, in view of our 20 th
birthday celebrations.
At this festive occasion we also hope to get sufficient votes
to adopt or reject a proposal to change the name of our
association from Association of Dutch Businessmen into
Association of Dutch Business People. All members are
encouraged to submit their votes online, whether or not
they attend the celebrations. More information on the
proposed changes and the rationale behind them can be
found in this magazine.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming
events and hope you’ll enjoy another issue of our re-styled
and renewed ADB magazine.

people to meet, interact and share knowledge by
