ITC Will Open The Door To The World

Today we hosted the first International Trade Center board meeting at ITC. More than twenty members from the business, culture, academic and real estate industries attended the meeting. After a few hours of discussion, we decided to fully make new plans and activities for the coming year.

When we celebrated the ITC 20-year Anniversary Gala, former the Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, Mayor Turner, Congressman Al Green, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and 500 guests were in attendance.

Our Board also made a resolution to sponsor monthly luncheons, and the first event will be on January 21. 

Next week to celebrate the Lunar New Year in front of our building, many cultural performances and food booths will be there on our front lawn. We also plan to celebrate July 4th, Mexico National Day, Christmas and New Year's in the International District to show the diversity of our ethnic culture heritage.

In our plans we also are going to publish a monthly newsletter and make plans for trade missions around the world, including Mexico, Vietnam and Africa.

We all are so very excited that ITC will be fully recovered and we will open the door to the world.
