This guy is not affiliated with the Commerce Department, but the Mission is sponsored by Commerce.  They outsource these to other companies and then have U.S. Ambassadors and Embassy support.  It isn't uncommon but it is different than a DOC organized mission and there is no senior Commerce official on the mission.   That said, it doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile - it just is a lower level mission.   Devon, didn't you do one of these at one point for Real Estate?

Any of you know this guy and is he really affiliated with the US Dept of Commerce? Anyone have an opinion on if this is something that is worth pursuing?

Thanks,

Hello –

We’ve finalized the dates for the next U.S. Commerce Department trade missions to the Middle East (see below). If you'd like to meet screened, active LPs in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and Oman, where we will be hosted by U.S. Ambassadors and supported by U.S. embassies, please reply to this email. You can also find more information, including a recorded teleconference with the U.S. Commerce Department official responsible for this program -- which has raised more than $750 million for U.S. GPs globally -- here:

Sincerely,

Chad Gracia
