The seminar A Time of Change for International Trade will help
local business owners navigate the economic downturn. Over the
past year, the United States has elected a new president and
witnessed credit markets freeze while economic growth dwindles.
These forces have had a dramatic effect on domestic production
and international trade. The panel of Northern California
international business specialists will discuss finance, economic
forecasts, and trade advocacy.
