In 2009 Washington State exports to Canada totaled $5.3 billion accounting for approximately 174,000 jobs. Imports totaled over $11.8 billion. How do we work together on trade, tourism, security, immigration and other important border issues? Where do we compete and where do we collaborate?
Phillip Chicola assumed the position of U.S. Consul General in Vancouver, BC in 2008, and is nearing the end of his term. What has he learned during his time as head of the consulate? What does he still hope to accomplish, and what does he see as top priorities for his successor? Denis Stevens only recently succeeded Peter Lloyd as Consul General. What are his first impressions, and what does he see as top priorities during his tenure? Join us with your questions and be a part of this important conversation affecting regional business, culture and government.
