offer an interactive overview of primary and secondary
reasons for involving your company in exporting; the
workshop will also cover pre-requisites for successful
exporting, as well as business considerations before
doing business “abroad." Free or low-cost
export support services available to area businesses
from State and/or Federal sources will be highlighted;
information will be presented that is helpful to both
companies that are interested in exporting and those
that already exporting. The session is scheduled to be
