Your NADEC Board of Directors

Each brings special expertise in international trade, earned through years of getting American companies into new markets. This group represents some of the country’s most recognized export industry leaders – bank executives, trade compliance directors, customs brokers & company presidents who’ve built careers around helping U.S. businesses sell overseas. Their volunteer work with NADEC turns that experience into export industry support for exporters who need it: education on trade rules, connections to the right resources, and advocacy in Washington when export policy is on the table. Together, this board keeps the U.S. export industry moving forward, one export council and one company at a time.
