Who are DEC Members?
DEC Members include individuals from a variety of export-related fields, including: international sales executives, export trading or management company representatives; bankers; international lawyers and accountants; freight forwarders; and others whose profession supports the U.S. government's export promotion mission. Recommendations for appointment are based on the individual's position in the local business community, knowledge of day-to-day international operations, interest in export development, and willingness and ability to devote time to the council. The Granite State DEC currently has 16 members representing a broad section of New Hampshire's businesses and organizations. They each have unique skill sets and experiences which serve to enhance New Hampshire's export community.
Responsibilities
The Granite State DEC members have agreed to:
- Volunteer their time to sponsor and participate in trade promotion activities which support New Hampshire's export community.
