Utah District Export Council - US Export Professionals

On Tuesday I attended my District Export Council meeting (DEC), which I've done since 1991. Attending this meeting are some of the most respected Export Professionals in Utah, They provide their services free to help increase USA Trade. The DEC members in Utah are only a small representation of DEC members throughout the United States. See: http://www.districtexportcouncil.com/

District Export Councils (DECs) are groups of international business professionals, appointed by the Secretary of Commerce, who support the mission of the U.S. Commercial Service of the Department of Commerce by encouraging and supporting exports in their local communities. Closely affiliated with the Commerce Department’s U.S. Export Assistance Centers, the 60 DECs are made up of approximately 1,500 exporters and export service providers who support the U.S. Government’s export promotion efforts throughout the country. Through its global network of trade specialists located in U.S. Export Assistance Centers in 109 U.S. locations, the U.S. Commercial Service works one-on-one with U.S. companies through every step of the exporting process to ensure they are able to export and compete fairly in the global market.

If you are an a USA Exporting Professional, contact your local DEC and help others. I did and I'm happy I did.
