Hot stuff: Chair James Zimmerman aims to be a torchbearer
26th September 2007
AmCham-China Chair James Zimmerman has joined a contest sponsored by Lenovo and China Daily whereby eight foreigners will be chosen to carry the Olympic torch. In his profile at China Daily, he writes:
Beijing is where I have lived and worked for almost 10 years. Beijing is home! As Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce China, it has been a pleasure over the years to be both a witness and participant in Beijing’s rise as a world class city. I want to carry the torch to share the joy and vision of the Olympics with my Chinese friends. Many thanks for the opportunity!
The eight torchbearers will be selected via a combination of online voting and selection by a panel of judges. To vote for Jim, visit here. To register for the contest, visit here. Vice Chair Dan Brody is also participating in the contest.
Out and about in China.
