If someone could help me with a speech, I would be really glad and thankful! :) Hi everybody! My name is Izabella and I'm manager of Corporate Communications in South America. In the beginning of 2017 we were thinking about how to celebrate the company's anniversary in Brazil in a memorable way. We wanted to do something nice and when we were discussing about it my boss gave the idea to create a book talking about the 40 years of the company in the country. We started to look for an editor to help us to write the content and we also decided who was going to be interviewed. It was hard to decide it because in these 40 years there were so many people who helped us to make the history... After that we decided how the chapters were going to be and which pictures we were going to use in each page. It was a hard job: first because there were not too many old pictures and second because if there were not too many photos, imagine finding them in high resolution. We spent days reading, writing, choosing pictures....changing pictures.... And when the book was almost ready we started to organize the party to celebrate the 40 years of the company in Brazil and to launch the so expected book (at least for us). We invited around 300 people to go to the first site of the company in Brazil. We created a Brazilian environment with a decoration using all the colours of the Brazilian flag...and in the stage we had the 3 CEOs that worked in the company in South America during these 40 years...Our current CEO invited some employees at the stage to represent the 15 thousand people that work with us today. And in the end he received the book with a drone. We were a little bit apprehensive but everything worked out and all 3 CEOs gave many autographs. For me it was a great experience to be part of a project like that and I really hope that this material can help people for the next 40 years. :)
