On September 15, 2013, General Manager, as the Branch Captain, led the branch badminton team to participate in the 2013 Chinese-funded institutions Badminton Invitational Tournament. The tournament was organized by the Consulate General of PRC in New York, and this was the first time New York Branch participated in a local Chinese enterprises group activity. With all the staff families’ enthusiastic support, the branch team played very well. The tournament greatly enhanced staff morale, raised the branch’s profile and reputation, and added to already strong employee camaraderie.  The New York Branch will continue to engage in activities that further develop both the ABC New York working environment and contribute to continued development of the business of ABC in United States.
