  • Business Professional Dress Code
    Business Professional Dress Code The way you dress can play a big role in your professional career. Part of the culture of a company is the dress code of its employees. Some companies prefer a business casual approach, while other companies require a business professional dress code. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR MEN Men should wear business suits if possible; however, blazers can be worn with dress slacks or nice khaki pants. Wearing a tie is a requirement for men in a business professional dress code. Sweaters worn with a shirt and tie are an option as well. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR WOMEN Women should wear business suits or skirt-and-blouse combinations. Women adhering to the business professional dress code can wear slacks, shirts and other formal combinations. Women dressing for a business professional dress code should try to be conservative. Revealing clothing should be avoided, and body art should be covered. Jewelry should be conservative and tasteful. COLORS AND FOOTWEAR When choosing color schemes for your business professional wardrobe, it's advisable to stay conservative. Wear "power" colors such as black, navy, dark gray and earth tones. Avoid bright colors that attract attention. Men should wear dark‐colored dress shoes. Women can wear heels or flats. Women should avoid open‐toe shoes and strapless shoes that expose the heel of the foot. GOOD HYGIENE Always practice good hygiene. For men adhering to a business professional dress code, this means good grooming habits. Facial hair should be either shaved off or well groomed. Clothing should be neat and always pressed.

  • Economic Development Committee, and Michael Deangelis, the Former City Manager
    COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE – FEBRUARY 28, 2012 LETTER OF ECONOMIC INTENT, ZIBO, SHANDONG, PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA Recommendation The Director of Economic Development in consultation with the City Manager, recommends: That the City explore the development of an Economic Partnership with Zibo, Shandong, People’s Republic of China through the signing of the attached Letter of Economic Intent. Contribution to Sustainability Green Directions Vaughan embraces a Sustainability First principle and states that sustainability means we make decisions and take actions that ensure a healthy environment, vibrant communities and economic vitality for current and future generations. Under this definition, activities related to attracting and retaining business investments contributes to the economic vitality of the City. Global competition in the form of trade and business investment, forces even the smallest of enterprises to operate on the world stage. With the assistance of the City, access to government officials and business contacts can be made more readily available. Economic Impact The recommendation above will not have any impact on the 2012 operating budget. However, any future activity associated with the signing of a Letter of Economic Intent, such as; any future business mission(s) to Zibo, Shandong that involves the City would be established through a future report that identifies objectives and costs for Council approval. Communications Plan Should Council approve the signing of a Letter of Economic Intent with Zibo, Shandong, the partnership will be highlighted in communications to the business community through the Economic Development Department’s newsletter Business Link and Vaughan e-BusinessLink. In addition, staff of the Economic Development Department will work with Corporate Communications to issue a News Release on the day of the signing that highlights the partnership.

  • Touring Bike Buyer's Guide
    TOURING BIKE BUYER’S GUIDE By Mike Deme I’ve held many job titles in my days at version, I went back and reread each of the previous guides. Not only did I find each writer’s approach very informative but enter - the Adventure Cycling Association, one taining as well. Despite the positive qualities of the articles, I felt they were a bit repetitive, but not for any fault of the writers. It’s of which was Information Specialist. In just that there hasn’t been any major advances in touring bike design recently so there is only so much to discuss. Influenced by that capacity, I was charged with these talented people, including Sheldon Brown, Fred Meredith, Tom Shaddox, and Fred Matheny, I thought I’d try a less techni - answering questions posed to the organ - cal approach. Carry on. So why don’t people interested in a bike designed for loaded ization as a whole, which were then, as touring have the same options as someone interested in a bike designed for road racing or mountain biking? The answer is sim - they are now, plenteous. At least half of ple: economics. Manufacturers and retailers want to sell a lot of bikes. The more they sell, the more money they make. And they these questions concern touring bikes. just don’t sell a lot of touring bikes. For those people who may have a chip on their shoulder about this, please, remove it now. It’s not helpful. The reality is The touring bicycle has been discussed, on and off, in the that fewer people like to tour by bicycle than like to participate in pages of Bike Report and Adventure Cyclist magazine, for as long as almost all other forms of cycling.
