“Chattanooga is now a global city, attracting investment from many countries and providing its goods and services around the world,” said Nasera Souidi, president of the IBC. “But we can’t be a player on the global stage unless foreign businesses can move their employees here and local businesses can recruit and hire the best talent available. This panel will help our members and the public gain the knowledge they need to know to compete on the global level.”
Members of the general public are invited to this meeting. Entry is $10. Contact Ivette Rios to RSVP at irios@tsbdc.org or 756-8668.
