The directors of Wisconsin’s five international trade offices will be making their annual visit to Wisconsin May 11-15.  Kara Smith and Kate Clarke (Europe), Vince Lencioni (Mexico), Paul Swenson (China), Claudia Tomaselli (Brazil), and Nancy Ward (Canada) serve as the eyes and ears for Wisconsin exporters in key markets around the world.  The trade offices conduct market viability studies and agent/distributor searches as well as identify government regulations that can affect a firm’s sales efforts.  Each May the directors of the trade offices visit the state to disseminate information about the business opportunities in their markets and to consult one-on-one with firms interested in expanding their export sales efforts.  To request a meeting with one or more of the directors, use the following contacts:
