Kuster Hosts Friday 'Exporter Forum' on Boosting International Sales

Congresswoman Annie Kuster, D-NH, on Dec. 6 will convene a group of local and national business leaders at Nashua Community College to discuss strategies for boosting international sales during an Exporter Forum session, held in conjunction with the Export-Import Bank of the United States. The event begins at 8:30 a.m., and will help business owners learn about ways to boost their exports, access working capital, leverage government resources, and find new markets and customers around the globe.

“My top priority in Congress is helping to grow the economy and create jobs and opportunity for the middle class. That’s what this Exporter Forum is all about,” Kuster said. “This event will help ensure that our businesses have the tools and resources they need to boost their exports and create good, middle class jobs right here in the Granite State.”

Kuster will deliver remarks at the forum, as will Patricia M. Loui, a member of the Export-Import Bank’s board of directors. State and federal officials will then join local business owners for panel discussions on export resources and strategies.

As a member of the House Small Business Committee, Kuster says she has prioritized efforts to boost exports and create jobs and opportunity for middle class families in New Hampshire. Earlier this year, she introduced the Small Business Growth Through Exports Act, legislation that would extend and expand the successful State Trade and Export Promotion program (STEP). To date, the STEP program has helped dozens of Granite State companies expand their exports, create jobs, and grow New Hampshire’s economy.

Granite Staters who are interested in attending the event are asked to register here. Members of the media who plan to attend should email Jake Berry at Jake.Berry@mail.house.gov to RSVP.

Nashua Community College is located at 505 Amherst St., Nashua, NH.
