Member Testimonials

"WCIT is an organization that impacts everyone in the state who trades internationally, most of whom don't know it. And yet, when Trade Promotion Authority passed last time around, the one vote margin of success was due to WCIT. When anti-trade legislation dies in DC, it is often because the Washington State Congressional Delegation, well informed and supported by WCIT, brings sense to the conversation. Every single company in the state that trades internationally, really ought to support WCIT."

H. L. (Skip) Kotkins, Jr.
Chairman & CEO
Skyway Luggage Company

 

"The Council provides a unique state-wide perspective. They are guardians of the interests of free trade throughout Washington. Their voice is valued in the public policy arena when international trade and economic issues are on the agenda. WCIT is a responsible broker of sound information."

Gary Locke,
Former Governor of Washington
