Our staff, our agency,
our industry, our community 
and our world. We stay engaged.

Yesterday, a few of us had the pleasure of attending the bi-monthly networking mixer hosted by the South African-American Chamber of Commerce (SAACC). Like the last one, we had a great time and met many interesting people. Of course, there was lots of talk about the Atlanta International Soccer Fest (AISF), as the launch date is quickly approaching and SAACC is spearheading the effort along with the German American Chamber of Commerce and the non-profit partner SOS Children’s Villages. Some of our own Realmies, Michael and Jaimie, are even playing on the SOS Children’s Villages’ team in the soccer tournament on Saturday, June 12th. Time to practice!

Last night, we also had the chance to learn from Dina Molaison, senior international trade specialist with the U.S. Commercial Service in Atlanta. She spoke about her role counseling Georgia companies on their export strategies, identifying potential business partners in foreign markets and helping her clients comply with U.S. export laws. If you’re looking for help in international commercial trade, we encourage you to look up the U.S. Commercial Service’s Export Assistance Center.

Additionally, one of our missions is to integrate all the wonderful people we’ve met through the mixers and AISF with the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), a non-profit professional organization we’re involved with. We think IABC is a great fit for many of the people we’ve been fortunate enough to meet. All in all, last night was a great example of fun networking and connecting people who can help each other.
