In 1988, a group of ten men and women founded a unique organization, the Council of Protocol Executives (COPE). It is the first and only organization of its kind, dedicated to raising the level of professionalism in the application of protocol standards for executive-level business meetings and entertainment. The enterprising founders have selectively expanded membership to over 325 executives, representing companies from the leading Fortune 500, financial and major nonprofit institutions. COPE organizes exclusive meetings, which showcase special event venues and hotels. Members are introduced to high-end caterers, florists, entertainment, retailers, photographers, transportation and audio-visual companies.
