Foreign Trade Commissioners Association in New York

GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIRMAN FTCA is Proudly Expanding its Reach! Founded in 2007, The Foreign Trade Commissioners Association in New York (FTCA) has his-torically served as a networking group for New York-based foreign trade offices. In recent years, an increasing number of these offices have merged or started working closely with the invest-ment promotion agencies of their respective countries and regions, and many of those organiza-tions have found FTCA to be beneficial as well. Now encompassing 105 offices from 77 countries, FTCA strives to build value for its members, our constituents at home, the business community, and federal and local governments in the United States. We endeavor to continue our vision of providing opportunities to learn and share through these global partnerships. This year, the Board of the FTCA plans to expand our visibility even further by launching a web-site and LinkedIn Group. The idea is to develop a platform that provides all partners with the most current information possible. Please look for www.ftcany.org coming soon to a computer near you!

Sincerely,

Daniel Bangser FTCA Chairman Trade Commissioner & FDI Director North America, Switzerland
