Press Release Body: Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism and Evergreen Team Concepts
are collaborating to present the BWCT 2010 Service Initiative that asks "Is your
business ready for the 2010 Olympics?" Beginning with the Kickoff event on Thursday,
February 21, 2008, 12-8pm, the Service Initiative strives to make all businesses
ready for the Vancouver/Whistler Winter Olympics. All those interested are welcome
to attend this event which includes live music, hors d'oeuvres, hourly
presentations, networking and thousands of dollars in door prizes.

In two short years, the world is coming to the Pacific Northwest to attend the
Winter Olympics. Businesses in the area stand to reap a windfall. The best prepared
companies stand to gain the most. The BWCT 2010 Service Initiative is vital to that
preparation.

Participants commit to four training workshops each year. In addition, the Service
Initiative benefits include:
. Quarterly Web forums, facilitated by top national figures
. Subscription to the quarterly e-newsletter, focused on Olympic news and events of
local business interest
. Two free marketing ads each year in the quarterly e-newsletter
. Four local press releases each year, coordinated with the BWCT 2010 Service
Initiative
. Three national and international press releases, issued through PRWeb with an
explanation of the BWCT 2010 Service Initiative
. Four audio conferences with national experts
. Annual networking luncheons, designed to bring business leaders together

The 2008 events are already scheduled. In March, Henry Beeland will map out
"Developing a Plan for Success". June is busy. Frank Keck leads a workshop in
"Building Successful Customer Relationships" and on June 4, the networking luncheon,
the "HAMFLAP" event, occurs. In the Fall, Evan Glassett presents a workshop in
September on "Image Management" and in November, Henrik Rosvall will conclude 2008
with a workshop on "Cultural Diversity and Practices". No business can afford to
miss a moment of this valuable experience.
