International Trade Administration and National District Export Council Formalize Export Promotion Partnership
04/2/2012
“The National District Export Council and the local DECs are committed to supporting ITA’s mission and assisting U.S. exporters throughout the country,” O’Neill said. “This memorandum of understanding solidifies this important relationship and commits both parties to continuing to grow U.S. exports in support of President Obama’s National Export Initiative.”
DECs are groups of international business professionals that are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. A 16-member DEC National Steering Committee represents more than 1,300 local DEC members, and serves as a liaison to ITA. The NDEC is a private, non-profit corporation that was independently established by members of the DEC National Steering Committee.
