Dear USGLC Board of Directors,

Please join a special call tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23, at 11:00 AM (EST) for USGLC's Board of Directors with Ambassador Michael Froman, US Trade Representative, and Jeffrey Zients, Director of the National Economic Council regarding this week's trade discussions, including AGOA.

To join the Board call please RSVP to Jessica Mueller at [email-masked].<mailto:[email-masked]>
Dial-in information will be distributed upon confirmation.

As part of this week's trade deliberations, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is likely to come to the Senate floor for a final vote - an important issue for many of our members.  AGOA would extend and encourage export-led economic development in sub-Saharan African.  While it has strong bipartisan support, the politics around other trade issues are creating additional challenges.

The quick turn-around for the call is to keep you up-to-date with the latest information.  If you have any questions, call Jessica at (202) 730-4161. Many thanks.

Liz
Liz Schrayer, USGLC
