  DESTIN , FL The International Council of NWF is hosting a membership drive and awareness event on November 18, 2008 at the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club. This event will promote the council’s mission of marketing and unifying businesses within the region to international customers, and will also direct how businesses should structure their procedures to better serve non-domestic clientele.

The membership event will host Mel Ponder, of Coastal Vision 3000, and an international CPA with O’Sullivan Creel, who will be speaking about tax advantages and international investments for the foreign national. Part of the event will also promote the International Council’s 2009 Conference, which is set to host several key political leaders in Florida as well as international representatives.

 

The event will be held Tuesday, November 18, 2008 from 4:00-7:00pm at the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club. Light hors d’oeuvres and cash bar will be available. This event is free and open to the public.
