NADEC keeps U.S. exporters plugged into what’s happening at the ground level. Every District Export Council across the country runs events, shares trade policy shifts & connects local businesses to federal resources, and this page rounds up the newsletters and announcements that come out of that work. Scroll down for the current year’s issues or dig into the archive going back to 2022.
District Export Councils bring together experienced exporters, bankers & manufacturers who volunteer their time to help other U.S. companies break into international markets. NADEC supports these regional councils with a shared newsletter, an annual conference & a public policy platform that keeps trade issues in front of Congress.
For exporters in the USA still figuring out where to start, the newsletter also doubles as an on-ramp. It regularly points readers toward the U.S. Commercial Service, regional trade opportunity guides & the Trade DNA initiative, so a company new to exporting can use these updates as a running list of programs, events, and initiatives worth checking out. Longtime exporters get value here too, since trade policy and legislative updates land in the same place as event announcements, keeping the whole community on the same page.

What is NADEC?
NADEC, the National Association of District Export Councils, is the umbrella group that supports the regional District Export Councils spread across the United States. It runs a shared newsletter, an annual conference & a public policy platform so every local council has the same tools and a stronger voice in Washington.
What is a District Export Council?
A District Export Council, or DEC, is a group of volunteer exporters, bankers & manufacturers in a specific region who help other local businesses start selling overseas. Each DEC works alongside the U.S. Commercial Service to run workshops, share leads & connect companies to federal export resources.
How do I find my local District Export Council?
Every state falls under a regional DEC. The DEC Locator on this site maps out which council covers your area & gives you contact details for getting involved directly.
How often does NADEC publish news updates?
NADEC sends out a newsletter roughly monthly, covering trade policy changes, upcoming events & activity from District Export Councils nationwide. Anyone can subscribe by email or by texting NADECNEWS to 22828.
How can exporters in the USA get involved with NADEC?
Exporters can join their local DEC directly, subscribe to the NADEC newsletter for ongoing updates & attend the NADEC Annual Export Conference to connect with other exporters and trade officials in person.
What kind of content shows up in the NADEC newsletter?
Each issue mixes trade policy updates, DEC event recaps, webinar announcements from Export-U & NASBITE, and general news for anyone exporting from the U.S. It’s built to work for someone brand new to exporting and a veteran exporter equally well.
The National Association of District Export Councils (NADEC) works to support the regional District Export Councils throughout the United States.
