Protocol involves etiquette on a local and international scale, and the practice of good manners on a daily basis. It evolved as a result of old traditions, when in the early days of civilization hospitality was extended to an arriving guest. Today it is particularly important because it not only covers the ceremonial rules that are followed during official functions and how to behave on these special occasions, but it also provides a set of established rules of courteousness that are to be respected in society. Through my personal and business experience in this field I learned that manners are really important no matter which lifestyle you lead, it is the basic common courtesies which most people learn as they grow up and in an organization it is extremely important that all members understand and practice proper protocol, good etiquette and manners. I strongly believe in what I learned in this field and in what I implement on a daily basis, in my personal and work life. Good manners is my everyday lifestyle and I would be honored to be able to attend such an important course to expand my knowledge in this field and share with who believes in these important values. More so I would become a proud consultant for any person or organization that is interested in learning, expanding or implementing values such as good manners and proper etiquette mainly to improve themselves and to the benefit of any person or organization. Special thanks to the Protocol School of Washington for the fabulous work they do and for giving us the opportunity to participate in such a unique and important contest.
