Following Bauermeister’s briefing a panel experienced in Latin America exports discussed the ins and outs of the market. The panel included:
Dr. Upendra Acharya | Gonzaga Law School, Associate Professor of Law
Doug Kemper | Washington Trust Bank, Director, International Banking
Victor M. Vera | Wagstaff, Latin America Sales Manager (retired)
Teri Zimmerman-Reynolds | Ray-Mont Logistics, USA Division Manager
More than half of all America’s free-trade agreements are in Latin America, and a rapidly growing base of middle-class consumers and diversified industries is leading to increased demands for U.S. products. This, coupled with stable and growing business environments, makes Latin American countries a must for market exploration.
