President's Welcome

 

As President, I would like to personally welcome you to the World Trade Center Association Los Angeles-Long Beach (WTCA LA-LB)!

Please take a few moments to explore our website and take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the many benefits we have to offer. Promoting international trade throughout the region, we are affiliated with nearly 300 World Trade Centers in almost 100 countries, whose membership includes over 750,000 companies worldwide. Our staff of trade experts assist individuals and companies daily to maximize international business opportunities and will assist you through one of our many services including: investment attraction, export/import training, marketing support, trade financing assistance, and an electronic network for trade opportunities.

The WTCA LA-LB is widely recognized as an important economic development component in Southern California. Further strengthening our role as a regional clearinghouse for international trade, the WTCA LA-LB is a subsidiary of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), an organization whose mission is to attract, retain and grow jobs and businesses for Los Angeles County.

I look forward to meeting with you this year as we continue to expand the value added services in the community to support economic development and job growth in the region.

Sincerely,

Vance Baugham
