together to allow executives doing business in China to participate in a
dialogue regarding their business efforts.
The facilitator and one of the founders of CRN is Kim Kirkendall,
President and CEO of International Resource Development, Kimberly has
over 20 yrs experience doing business in China and with Chinese
companies.

This group is privately organized, and membership is by invitation to
those companies that are currently engaged in trade with China: buying
from, selling to, or manufacturing in. Our member companies represent
major players in various U.S. industries, divisions of international
businesses, long time local manufacturers, and high tech startup
companies.
"Our goal is to be a resource and network for each other in
developing our companies' interests in China;
to meet monthly to discuss a specific topic and to communicate via
email. Members and Guests can also read our online blog
where members/partners, many based in China, post updates
on the rapid economic changes" Kimberly Kirkendall states. ( Read Blog

So do we...
We started the group because the typical conference on China doesn't
provide the level of information that is relevant to experienced
executives.
The group meets at a chosen location once a month, and members pay
fees annually starting at $350.00 for an individual or $750 for a
corporate membership.
Group meetings will include presentations and discussion on topics related to doing business with China, and create an opportunity for cooperation between members on initiatives in China.
Provides members with access to each other and the facilitator during
the month for advice on specific issues through email circulation and
our online forum.  | |
