Five years ago, this month, on October 1, 2007, the California Council for International Trade (CCIT) merged with the California Chamber of Commerce International Trade Committee to create the CalChamber Council for International Trade, which expands California’s voice on trade.
Upon creation of the merged Council, the Council for International Trade Update (CITU) was initiated. Each weekly CITU features international headlines, U.S. trade policy updates, relevant information compiled from a number of sources, CalChamber companies in the news, and a worldwide events calendar.
Please take this opportunity of our fifth anniversary to forward this newsletter to your colleagues, clients, vendors, etc. who have an interest in international trade. We welcome them to email us at international@calchamber.com to receive this comprehensive trade update weekly at no cost.
Thanks to our 4,000 readers around the world for your continued interest and support. Readers include members of the CalChamber Council for International Trade; CalChamber members with international interests; the consular corps; California congressional delegation; selected U.S. and California government officials; representatives of business and trade associations; and local, binational and American chambers of commerce abroad.
And thanks to the CalChamber Communications Department!
