The International Dinner Club
 |
The four met at a Standford's Business School Executive MBA program in the summer of 1992.
They share little in common; not career, age or nationalities. Yet over the past decade and a half, they have remained close friends. Something clicked that summer, and like any good marriage of minds, the relationship has lasted through sickness and health, children growing up, career ups and downs...... |
One of the first dinners at Standford
Once a year, the four meet formally, taking turns playing host to the others. The principal task is to show a much-traveled bunch of executives something they might not have seen or experienced before, to learn something new and to enjoy themselves with great foods, conversations and fine wines.
