IMSTA FRANCE: IMSTA Launches A Branch in France
Eric Nolot - IMSTA France AmbassadorWhen it comes to international expansion, 2008 was truly a good year for IMSTA. In August, IMSTA announced the launch of IMSTA India, IMSTA Italy, and IMSTA United Kingdom. Of course, this would have not been possible had it not been for the IMSTA ambassadors who have taken over this noble project in their respective countries. Now, we are ready to Launch IMSTA France and would like to take this opportunity to introduce the IMSTA ambassador behind this expansion.
