NAITA 2007 President's LetterAs NAITA approaches its 25th year of being a “catalyst for trade development and growth opportunities in North Alabama and the surrounding region,” we would like to extend a warm welcome to our members, our North Alabama regional partners, and current and future global partners. Almost two and a half decades ago, our founders envisioned an organization that would “…provide a forum to discuss and learn about business opportunities in the global marketplace.” With the support of the Madison County Commission International Trade Development Center, our Executive Director, and a talented and diverse Board, that forum continues to flourish.
NAITA’s original vision and mission have matured and expanded to include extensive education and awareness programs throughout the local and regional communities. And, in recent years, NAITA has taken on Global Initiatives facilitating business connections throughout the world with the collaboration of the Alabama Development Office, the Alabama International Trade Center, the US and local Chambers of Commerce, and the US Departments of Commerce and State.
NAITA has an active and growing membership and is on the forefront of the globalization process in promoting the North Alabama/Tennessee Valley region as a major gateway to international trade in the Southeast and South Central US.
As a business-driven organization, NAITA has also taken a leading role in the Globally Competitive Community (GC2) initiative in North Alabama that includes 14 counties and key stakeholders in business, education, and civic leadership. NAITA has partnered with the Port of Huntsville in leading the GC2 initiative which positions and sustains the region as a Globally Competitive Community.
Please view the rest of our website for more details on our history, initiatives, and community-based activities, such as scholarships to college-level students pursuing careers in International Trade.
Members and visitors are encouraged to check back regularly for upcoming events, including Trade Education Tours, Export Controls & Compliance Seminars, and our annual World Trade Day Celebration.
In 2008, we will celebrate our 25th year of serving the North Alabama/Tennessee Valley region and the global trading community. As new global trade opportunities emerge, NAITA and this fast growing region are poised to lead in a globalized economy. R. Foster Perry, III NAITA President-2007 |
