TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, thanking the council members who attended the seminars, approximately three thousand, and said, “It is praiseworthy that individuals would set away three days in order to find out how to be better acquainted with their community; to learn how to better develop themselves and to contribute more to their regions.”
Stating that the Council Members Seminar was a first in TOBB’s history,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “This is the first time that we’ve organized towards all
10,000 council members. This is quite necessary as around three thousand people
have attended the seminars in 23 groups until today. With the satisfaction of
those who attended causing increase in interest, we have opened up an
additional ten groups for the last quarter of the year. Hence, in addition to
being the first of its kind, these seminars are now also the events with the
highest attendance we’ve held. We see once again that it is impossible to not
profit from education, nobody loses out in education.”
Reporting that each group would be comprised of 2,000 people,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Ten groups means two thousand people. Those previously
unable to attend should take advantage of this opportunity; there really
shouldn’t be any council members who haven’t attended a seminar.”
As a part of the seminars TOBB and its affiliates are introduced while
presentations on Turkey’s economy, arbitration and mediation as alternative
commercial dispute solution methods as well as exportation are made. Also
contributing to the seminars are TOBB ETU SEM “Current Turkish Foreign Policy
and Its Future”, “Effective Management Skills”, “Effective Communication
Skills”, “Protocol”, “E-commerce and Social Media Management”, “Financial
Management”,” “Management and Establishment Functions” and İzgören Academy with
their seminars.
