NADEC Advisory Council
The Advisory Council of the National Association of District Export Councils (NADEC) strives to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of exports to the U.S. economy and to reach audiences beyond DECs and government officials.
Members of the Advisory Council are appointed by the NADEC Board of Directors. Members serve for a term of two years, renewable for a maximum of three terms. The purpose of the Advisory Council is to advise and assist the NADEC Board of Directors on markets and other export related topics. The Advisory Council is not involved in the operations of NADEC which is the responsibility of the NADEC Board of Directors.
The Advisory Council convened a task force in 2021 to prepare a white paper highlighting the strategic needs of U.S. exporters to meet the global competitive challenges of the 21st century. The purpose of this white paper was to underscore the urgent global competitive threats facing America’s export model, principally from China but also from other major competitors. Proposals contained herein recommend resource solutions and updated organizational structures required to help America retain and create more noble export jobs in America and strengthen U.S. competitiveness globally.
