On October 5^th, 2010 the OSF will organize the first meeting of the new Orange Sports Forum, from 11 am until 2 pm at Randstad Holding, Diemermere 25 in 1112 TC Diemen, Netherlands.

Our host will be Frans Cornelis MBA, Managing Director, Group Marketing & Communications of Randstad Holding NV. Frans is, among others, responsible for all of Randstad’s corporate sponsorships.

As you all know the Orange Sports Forum foundation was established in July 2010 and has meanwhile welcomed its first participants and renowned endorsement partners. The committee, chaired by Marcel de Rooij (director of Twynstra Gudde), has started its work. The efforts aimed on India have so far resulted in two concrete applications which offer great opportunities for the OSF and its members. In short, it is time to exchange ideas and to name concrete activities and to take some decisions.
