The United Chinese Community Enrichment Services Society (S.U.C.C.E.S.S.), Business and Economic Development and Coast Capital Savings Credit Union jointly launched the networking series with David Solloway, general manager of North American operations at Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Ltd. as the keynote speaker for the event.
“Asia Pacific Business Networking Series is an excellent platform for new business owners to develop their local network and integrate into the multicultural society,” said Kenneth Tung, chairman of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. “We all benefited from the presentation of Solloway on how Oasis successfully developed its business in North America.”

Its mandate is to promote the well being of new and established Canadians to create an integrated society in the spirit of multiculturalism.
Tung also said: “It is also a win-win strategy for us to work with Coast Capital Savings Credit Union to launch this kind of event and three more sessions throughout the year.”
