News flash from CHINA!

Image Resource Center Founder, Dominique Isbecque has just returned from her 10-day whirl-wind trip to China where she gave presentations to AICI image consultants in Beijing. Dominique then went on to Dalian—a sophisticated city, reminiscent of Paris—where she lectured to 40 female government workers in the Dailan Department of Technology, followed by another lecture to students at the Dailan Fashion School. Gala receptions, dinners and informal affairs were all part of the gracious welcome Dominique received in China. Dominque is most grateful to have been so warmly welcomed and have had the opportunity toshare her knowledge. Kudos to former student Lucy, who was instrumental in organizing the trip.
