Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) will host a free seminar on Wednesday, October 19, from 1:00 – 4:30 PM at the Rotary River Center, Beloit, WI for Wisconsin and Illinois small and medium-sized businesses seeking to grow their exports or enter the export market with support from U.S. government programs.
Joining Baldwin and Manzullo are representatives from the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce and the Stateline World Trade Association. Presentations and discussions will be led by experts from the U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC), Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Export-Import Bank of the U.S.
“To create jobs and grow our economy, we must take full advantage of the global marketplace,” said Congresswoman Baldwin. “I’m delighted to offer this help to local businesses wishing to enter the export market or expand their reach internationally. This seminar will raise awareness of the federal funds and services available to local businesses to help them reach their full potential,” Baldwin said.
“When times are tough, businesses need to look at every opportunity possible to sell their goods and services, and exporting offers our employers a tremendous way to grab new market share, strengthen their business, and create jobs,” said Congressman Manzullo. “This seminar will introduce our employers to all the federal resources available to help sell their products overseas, and I encourage anyone interested in exporting to attend this free event,” Manzullo said.
Randall Upton, President of the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, said, "One of the principal ways to create and maintain new jobs is by increasing the export of American products and services. Exporting is a non-partisan issue, and the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce is honored to support the U.S. Government Export Seminar that is being hosted by Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and Congressman Don Manzullo."
