Who are the DEC Members?

Each DEC has approximately 30 members, at least half of whom are exporters. Members also include export trading or management company representatives; bankers; international lawyers and accountants; freight forwarders; and others whose profession supports the U.S. government’s export promotion mission.

Recommendations for appointment are based on the individual’s position in the local business community, knowledge of day-to-day international operations, interest in export development, and willingness and ability to devote time to the council — at his or her own expense.

​Applications from those who wish to join are submitted directly to the US Dept. of Commerce, who conducts due diligence on every applicant.  The names of those approved are submitted to US Secretary of Commerce for final approval.  Once appointed as a new member of the District Export Council, members receive an official Membership Certificate, suitable for framing.
