We're delighted to report that all funding partners have consented to the terms of our International Marketing Services Agreement (IMAS) and have sought and received approval from their respective councils. We would like to express our gratitude for your input in achieving this milestone. As part of our commitment under the IMAS, we're pleased to provide you with a copy of the "GTMA's 2009 International Marketing Initiatives &Related Programs Report." The attached report covers GTMA activities for fiscal year 2009, as well as an update on activities in Q1 of We encourage you to review the report which details our progress and accomplishments in a number of areas, including: : Global Automation Network Initiative and its numerous lead generation missions Business Sales Trip to India focused on digital media and animation - The proposed 2010 International Mission with Regional Economic Development Offices (EDOs) in November 2010 Brazil - GTMA's Collaboration with TRRA on the 2010 Agri-Food Cluster Project.
