By Roy Lie A Tjam.
The Latin America table convened on 20th September 2018. The guest speaker was Mr. Mark Verheul trainer and consultant at the Institute for International Protocol and Strategic Networking of which he is the founder and proprietor.
The institute is EDU accredited. What is more, Mr. Verheul is the former Head of Protocol of the City of The Hague, he also worked for The Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan and The Royal Household of the Netherlands.
In 2016 Verheul co-authored “An Experts Guide to International Protocol” Published by Amsterdam University Press. The guide will be published in other languages such as Spanish and Chinese. The lecture was well attended; among the attendees were Ambassadors, business persons, representatives of International organisations and others. His theme was:
International Protocol and Strategic Networking / Best Practice in Diplomatic- and Corporate Relations
Verheul’ expose captured the attention of the audience from start to end. He gave an animated in-depth explanation of what protocol is and what it is not and its relationship with etiquettes. Verheul touched on the Richard Lewis Triangle and talked about seating arrangements, what to mention in an invitation and so on.
The president of the Latin America Table Ms. Sonia Meyer thanked Mark Verheul and offered him a token of gratitude.
All in all, a very instructive evening.
