Chamber President Laurie White recently spoke with Eva-Marie Mancuso, Esq., Director of the John H. Chafee Center for International Business at Bryant University. The two discussed ways Rhode Island small businesses are growing globally and the resources available to help them better compete in international markets.
 

 

Eva-Marie invited businesses to participate in the upcoming 38th World Trade Day at Bryant on May 22, where participants from around New England and beyond will come together to hear from global business professionals and industry experts on today’s global challenges and how companies are creating new paths forward. This year’s theme, “Supply Chain Resiliency,” will address the need for resiliency and the ability to quickly adapt to change.
