NAITA World Trade Day Luncheon

NAITA World Trade Day Luncheon | The Opportunity of Trade: An Engine for Growth | featuring John Murphy, Sr. VP International, U.S. Chamber of Commerce May 15, at 11:30 am, at The Westin Huntsville | 6800 Governors West | Huntsville AL 35806 Aligning trade policy with U.S. industrial competitiveness and security can accelerate economic growth for Alabama and our nation. Our keynote speaker will address key challenges and strategies for navigating trade in today’s global economic landscape. There is so much happening in the trade arena right now: a growing trade war with retaliatory tariffs, complicated supply chain issues, and countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Companies are concerned about tariffs, especially the steel and aluminum tariffs in sectors with a significant presence in our region, including automotive and aerospace. As we face headwinds in these areas, we need to get policies right to ensure continued economic growth, and trade is a significant part of that. According to Suzanne Clark, President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, “Trade is the beating heart of economic growth and job creation in this country.” Our keynote speaker from the U.S. Chamber – John Murphy, Sr. Vice President for International – will discuss the best course of action to address U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and how advancing positive trade policy can impact these issues of critical concern. Join us for a celebration of international trade and a discussion of current issues impacting those involved in trade! Register today to reserve your corporate table or seat!
