Dear Past Exhibitors:
We would first like to thank you for your previous business with International Student Network. For years it has been our privilege and pleasure to provide the American Education Expos around the world to help you and your institution find qualified international students and meet your recruitment goals.
We appreciate all the effort and energy you put into the Latin America Spring 2007 Expo. As a result, you kept to the high expectations set for our presenters, and represented your institution well. All the students, parents, and school staff from Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro were all pleased with your interest in the area and the enthusiasm you showed for the prospective students. We also thank you for the feedback we received during the trip. If you have any further suggestions or questions about the trip, do not hesitate to contact an associate at ISN. We have enclosed this report to highlight the accomplishments you made during our 2007 Spring Expo in Latin American countries. Please share this with your co-workers and superiors. We hope this will convey your successes and convince your institution to join us for a future Expo series.
