LIMA has recently restructured and streamlined our operation in China in order to provide our members with more efficient and broader-based services.  This change includes the consolidation of our Shanghai and Hong Kong offices which will now operate as a single entity as LIMA China under the direction of Ms. Tani Wong, who will serve as Managing Director.  Tani has an extensive licensing background including experience in merchandising, retailing, publishing, promotions and events across the region.  She had been LIMA’s Managing Director for Southeast Asia since 2009.  Prior to that, Tani was with Warner Bros. and Disney Consumer Products.

I trust you will find that this change brings a greater level of educational opportunities, industry information and marketing opportunities.  Please remember that LIMA membership also includes an extensive list of global services, including discounts at industry trade shows, webinars, seminars, industry news and networking events.  A full list of benefits can be found on our English-language website at www.licensing.org.  If you have any questions or are not currently a member and wish to join LIMA, please feel free to contact Tani at twong@licensing.org. 

Thank you for your support of LIMA as we work to bring together and expand the licensing community in China. 

Sincerely,

Charles M. Riotto, President
LIMA
