WTCM HOSTS AMCHAMDR WORKING GROUP
As part of its business development strategy, the World Trade Center Miami cultivates and enters into international partnership agreements with organizations, institutions, and other World Trade Centers in key markets and countries. These agreements facilitate collaboration, knowledge exchange, and initiatives of mutual interest and benefit. One such agreement is the Memorandum of Understanding with the American Chamber of Commerce Dominican Republic. On June 10, the WTCM hosted a delegation from AMCHAMDR, along with Miami-area industry leadership and formed a Task Force working group to identify and develop strategies to increase exports from the Dominican Republic to Miami. Leading the local efforts is WTCM Chair of the Board, Manny Mencia. For more information or to join the Task Force, contact Chris Mangos at cmangos@wtcmiami.org.
