If you do business in or with China -- or plan to do so in the future -- you will not want to miss this opportunity to hear a firsthand report from someone whose opinion really matters!

Please join the members of WCIT and WSCRC at a breakfast forum with William H. Lash, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Market Access and Compliance (MAC), U.S. Department of Commerce. Mr. Lash has just returned from China, and will share his first-hand insights into developments there. His remarks will focus on intellectual property rights protection and the U.S. government's role in intellectual property rights, as well as market access and compliance.

U.S businesses and workers are the most productive in the world, but often find difficulties exporting their goods and services because of foreign barriers to trade. The Department of Market Access and Compliance's overall objectives are to obtain market access for American firms and workers and to achieve full compliance by foreign nations with trade agreements they sign with our country.

Feel free to invite colleagures, customers, clients and prospective clients to this important forum! Space is limited and we anticipate the program will fill quickly. If you wish to attend, please register immediately.
