A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT

PEOPLE DO BUSINESS WITH PEOPLE THEY KNOW

On behalf of the U.S.-Africa Trade Commission (USAfriTC), its members and our Board of Governors …. Welcome to our website!

I am honored to serve as President, and on behalf of the board, we look forward to working on your behalf. Together, with all other Board Members, we will continue to transition our Trade Commission into a fine-tuned organization within, and beyond, the U.S.-Africa community. I look forward to the upcoming challenges and opportunities that arise. I am very proud of the role this Trade Commission plays in supporting international growth of local businesses.

The Trade Commission’s mission is to “promote, support, and strengthen U.S.-Africa business and economic cooperation.” This is a broad mandate, to be sure, but one that befits an organization that serves as a commercial bridge between the United States and the African Nations.

Your Trade Commission has three pillars which help guide and direct our mission, which is to represent, serve, and connect present and future members to build and sustain a thriving business community. These three pillars are also known as our ABC’s – Advocate, Benefit, Connect.

This Trade Commission offers great value to members. Currently, we offer great membership pricing, networking opportunities with our Mixers and Business Events, website and social media marketing, member-to-member discounts, annual business expo and much more.

Over the past several months, a few of my main focuses were directed to coordinating Trade Commission events and developing our web and social media content. Our annual Business Expo was completely revamped. There were some key learning’s from that change, and they will be well incorporated into the planning process of our next expo event. The Trade Commission website was completely redesigned for a more comfortable and appealing look for community members seeking information, or other prospective members. Also, more areas for potential member marketing was incorporated into the design. The social media aspect of the Trade Council demanded much attention. Today, social media is of key importance in our day-to-day operations. Our Facebook and LinkedIn pages were dormant, and completely transformed.

I am excited to reach out to all members and ask for feedback on your expectations of the Trade Commission , and what comments and suggestion you may have for us to better promote and serve the business community across the U.S.-Africa landscape.

I look forward to working with everyone who is associated with this Trade Commission, and wish another successful year to all local businesses encompassed within our marketing area. If you have questions pertaining to your business or business in general, feel free to reach out to me, or anyone on the Board of Governors, and we will provide you with the best information possible.

In the end, it all comes down to partnerships.

According to one African proverb, “One hand alone cannot lift a heavy load to the head.” With this in mind, I invite you to extend the hand of partnership to USAfriTC. You’ll be glad you did!

Sincerely,

Titus Olowokere

President/CEO
