WORLD TRADE WEEK: Global Synergies

It is my honor to serve as the Chairman of the 90th Anniversary of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce World Trade Week (WTW), and continue the rich history and tradition of recognizing global trade.

This year’s theme, Global Synergies & Innovation, embodies this history and tradition through synergy with an eye on the future that is innovation. The annual WTW celebration is a constant and powerful reminder that global trade is a critical element in the economic development of any country, region or city. WTW encourages executives to re-evaluate, and in most cases adjust, their business strategies in the current domestic and international economic situation to enable them to be more competitive in the global arena. WTW also places great importance on the next generation of global entrepreneurs through college and high school scholarships and annual educational workshops.

In my current roles as a Boeing executive at the Satellite Development Center in El Segundo, and as a Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner for the Port of Los Angeles, I have been provided with a unique opportunity to view global trade from both an export and import perspective. Through exporting Boeing products or importing cargo via the Port of Los Angeles, I have gained direct perspective and insight into the strategies, opportunities, and impacts to each sector through global market sensitivities and government engagement.

Never before in our history has the importance of global synergy and innovation been more pertinent to the global economy. Global synergies bring our business plans and strategies together while working to stabilize global economies. Working together to innovate today will have a profound impact on our ability to make our global economy more technically driven and more efficient in the future!

The demands of the future are today’s opportunities, and WTW is one element in a string of events that bring us together annually to address these challenges, as well as celebrate this 90 year tradition, as one global community!

CHAIR’S MESSAGE | I

II | U.S. DEPT. OF COMMERCE’S MESSAGE

MESSAGE FROM

U.S. Secretary of Commerce

Since 1927, when the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce initiated the first World Trade celebration, this event has evolved into a special opportunity to showcase global success and educate U.S. businesses about the benefits of exporting.

In my travels around the world as Secretary of Commerce, I have seen the triumphs and challenges of U.S. businesses participating in global trade, and I have witnessed first-hand how organizations like the L.A. Area Chamber make a difference. From my vantage point, the potential for trade to drive U.S. economic prosperity is great; however, many hands must come together to make it happen.

Within the Department of Commerce and its U.S. Commercial Service, we focus on strengthening the competitiveness of U.S. businesses by educating them on exporting, providing them the resources they need, and connecting them to the tremendous worldwide demand for U.S. goods and services. Our trade professionals work with U.S. businesses across the Nation and around the world in markets where U.S. companies pursue opportunities. This is done hand-in-hand with organizations like the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, which innovates, partners with us, and is a valued resource for exporters in the Los Angeles business community.

As we celebrate World Trade Week, we acknowledge the many opportunities on the horizon. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will introduce more U.S. exporters to the Asia-Pacific region, which boasts a fast-growing middle class of more than 500 million consumers. In 2014, $71.6 billion in goods exports from California went to TPP countries. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, when concluded, will continue to open markets and benefit companies. These new trade agreements will ensure that American companies can compete on a fair and level playing field. In addition, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield will help grow the digital economy for European and American businesses and ensure that those businesses can continue to access services online.

A major priority of the Department is increasing the number of companies that take advantage of exporting as a way to grow their business. As we work to open markets, we will continue to offer U.S. businesses information, resources, and connections across the United States and around the world. At overseas trade shows, including Hannover Messe, and events like the U.S. Discover Global Markets Business Forums (and its overseas counterpart Trade Winds), we will continue to work with partners like the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce to educate, share resources, and match U.S. sellers with international buyers for global success.

| IIIU.S. DEPT. OF COMMERCE’S MESSAGE

The United States is a nation of explorers, inventors, and leaders. U.S. businesses are helping to shape international trade, while navigating through the global economic landscape.World Trade Week encourages us all to reflect on our world as a true global economy, with opportunities for success worldwide.

I congratulate the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce on its 90th World Trade Week, and I applaud its commitment to international trade.

Sincerely,

PENNY PRITZKERU.S. Secretary of Commerce

IV | U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE’S MESSAGE

MESSAGE FROM

United States Trade Representative

Dear Members and friends of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce,

For 90 years, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce has led our nation in commemorating World Trade Week and celebrating the benefits that global trade brings to our local communities. This year, we have an opportunity to not only recognize those benefits – more well-paying jobs, higher growth, and a stronger middle class – but expand them for all Americans by leading on trade. American workers, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all sizes provide the foundation for our nation’s strong export performance, and the people of California deserve special recognition for their contribution to our country’s economic success. In 2014, California led the nation by exporting $173.8 billion Made-in-America goods, which supported over 775,000 jobs. Los Angeles, home to our country’s top port complex and third largest export market, was responsible for more than 45 percent of the state’s total merchandise exports. We continue to work to expand markets for our country’s high-quality goods, services, and creative product exports, because as California’s example shows, rising exports drive economic opportunity here at home. To expand these benefits, we worked hard to make the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) the highest-standard trade agreement in history. TPP marks a major opportunity for our workers and businesses, opening some of the world’s largest and fastest growing markets to Made-in-America exports, while supporting high-paying jobs, strengthening the American middle class, and setting the rules of the road for the global economy. TPP will benefit businesses from San Diego to San Francisco and beyond. By cutting more than 18,000 foreign taxes and raising standards in other markets, by 2030 we will see an estimated $350 billion per year increase in Made-in-America exports, according to the Peterson Institute. That means more high-paying jobs for strong export markets like Los Angeles. TPP also sets strong and enforceable labor and environmental standards, ensures a free and open Internet, includes strong commitments to protect intellectual property rights, establishes new disciplines on state-owned enterprises, and helps small and medium-sized businesses compete and succeed in the global economy. For example, Mark W. Fuller, CEO of L.A.-based small business WET, has said “we strongly support the Trans-Pacific Partnership because it will give WET and other small businesses like ours unprecedented access to vital economies in the Asia-Pacific region by reducing the import taxes that burden our work when facing foreign competition. It also takes new, strong steps to protect our intellectual property, our most valuable asset abroad.”

| V | VU.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE’S MESSAGE

With these benefits within our reach, the time to pass the TPP is now. According to the Peterson Institute, even a one year delay would cost each American household over $700, on average. The future of California’s competitiveness is on the line, from high-tech innovators in Silicon Valley, to farmers and ranchers in the Central Valley, to intellectual property creators in Hollywood, to small business manufacturers like WET. Given these stakes, the spirit behind World Trade Week is needed today more than ever. As we write the next chapter of this proud, 90-year tradition, we thank organizations like the L.A. Area Chamber for inspiring and enabling America’s leadership on trade. With your support, we can make 2016 a year to remember.

Sincerely,

AMB. MICHAEL B. G. FROMANUnited States Trade Representative

Dear Friends:

On behalf of the City of Los Angeles, I welcome you to the 90th Annual World Trade Week. Over the years, World Trade Week has grown into a month long celebration of Los Angeles’ economic might and global competitiveness.

Los Angeles is a great international city that leads the nation in international trade.

We are making unprecedented investments in our airports, port, infrastructure, and businesses to ensure trade continues to flow and our city prospers in the years to come.

The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce has for decades championed World Trade Week. Each year it brings together the international trade community, government leaders, and the public to raise awareness of the importance and benefits of global trade for our local and national economy.

MESSAGE FROM

City of Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia

On behalf of the great City of Long Beach, welcome to the 90th Annual World Trade Week!

It’s a great time of trade in the City of Long Beach. Our Port is seeing record volume, innovators and entrepreneurs are moving in, unemployment is down and household income is up. Investment and construction is increasing all over town. Our airport continues to win international recognition for its efficiency, aesthetics, and convenience. And, our best days ahead.

Trade is the lifeblood of our local and regional economy. One out of every eight jobs in Long Beach is related to the Port, which comprises about half of what is the largest port complex in the western hemisphere. And we’re investing hundreds of millions of dollars – more than any port in the Americas – on capital improvements and expansion, to endure we remain competitive through the 21st century.

Participants in World Trade Week understand the crucial importance of economic exchange and vigorous international trade, and your work to promote a healthy economy and support our business sector is important and admirable. Thank you!

World Trade Week is a fantastic opportunity for stakeholders and leaders from throughout California and around the world to share innovative ideas and to benefit our regional, national, and global economies. On behalf of the City of Long Beach, congratulations on 90 years of hard work and success.

Sincerely,

MAYOR ROBERT GARCIACity of Long Beach

WORLD TRADE WEEK HISTORY

The World Trade Week concept was conceived in 1926 and first observed in 1927 in Southern California. World trade continues to significantly contribute to the nation’s economy and has developed a vast new horizon for America’s businesses.

In 1926, Stanley T. Olafson, then manager of the World Trade Department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, conceived

the idea of a World Trade Week observance in Southern California. This was during a period of isolationism and under the conditions prevailing during the heyday of the restrictive Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.


In 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt officially proclaimed World Trade Week as a national observance by the United States Government and selected the third week in May each year, which includes May 22, National Maritime Day.

Initially, the purpose of World Trade Week was to promote the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Following World War II, the expanding economy and potential for international commerce growth created an opportunity for World Trade Week to expand its scope to include all facilities and organizations in the Southern California area involved in world trade.

Under the guidance of its founding sponsors — the L.A. Area Chamber, Los Angeles World Airports, the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles — the original week-long observance has now grown to more than 30 events held each year throughout the month of May in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura.

This tremendous nonprofit endeavor is further supported by Southern California companies who offer sponsorship for the many programs and informational materials the World Trade Week Committee creates each year.

Education is the cornerstone of World Trade Week. Some current programs and involvement include:

SCHOLARSHIPSThe World Trade Week committee offers scholarships to aspiring Southern California students in international trade-related fields. The purpose of these scholarships is to foster international trade education and international business development. In establishing this scholarship program, the committee hopes to develop a network of international trade professionals who are willing to provide mentoring to students wanting to enter the field of international business.

Scholarships are awarded to outstanding, graduating, high school seniors entering an accredited college or university with the goal to prepare for a profession in international trade.

At the university level, scholarships are awarded to full-time students who have completed or are in the process of completing at least a quarter or semester internship with an international business, organization or association of the Southern California international trade community.

GLOBAL TRADE CAREER BRIEFINGSThe World Trade Week committee hosts several educational briefings each year that are focused on informing high school students, educators and career counselors on career opportunities in fields related to international trade. Members of the committee also participate in regional university and high school career fairs.

PUBLICATIONSWorld Trade: Your Roadmap to Success features specific international career profiles from the public and private sectors, including banking, consulting, education, logistics, marketing and trade policy promotion.
